Surcharges on top of the shipping
$30,828.21
Your 13 UPS invoices from 4 July to 26 September 2026 came to $86,021.95, and $30,828.21 of it, 35.8%, was surcharges on top of the shipping, the largest Fuel Surcharge at $18,315.15 on 3,319 packages and Residential Surcharge at $5,504.96 on 1,122 packages.
$86,021.95 = the 13 invoices’ rows added up, each one in the invoices table. $86,021.95 = $55,193.74 shipping + $30,828.21 surcharges. $30,828.21 = $12,406.78 accessorial + $18,421.43 fuel surcharge. 35.8% = $30,828.21 surcharges ÷ $86,021.95 whole bill. Surcharges are the rows UPS itself classes as accessorial (ACC) or fuel surcharge (FSC) in your file, and the shipping is the rows it classes as transportation (FRT). Every amount is UPS’s Net Amount, what it billed after your incentives.

What this counts
- Surcharges are the rows UPS itself classes as accessorial (ACC) or fuel surcharge (FSC) in your file, and the shipping is the rows it classes as transportation (FRT). Every amount is UPS’s Net Amount, what it billed after your incentives.
- Charges are named exactly as UPS writes them. A credit keeps its own name (Void, GSR, Shipping Charge Correction), so it lowers the total of its class without hiding inside another charge.
- Packages are the tracking numbers on a charge’s rows that carry money. A charge UPS bills to a whole shipment sits on its lead package.
- Taxes, duties, brokerage and miscellaneous charges are counted in the bill, as neither shipping nor surcharges, and listed with the shipping.
- UPS’s file has no header row, so its columns are checked before it is read, a version in column 1, UPS’s charge classes in column 44 and amounts in column 53. A file whose columns sit elsewhere is left out rather than read wrong.
- An invoice in two files counts once. When the two copies differ, the one in the file dropped later counts.
- A calculation from your UPS billing data, not an audit of whether a charge was right.
Also in your files
- UPS took $49,279.88 off for your incentives, $2,669.47 of it on surcharges. The amounts here are after it.
- 12 rows gave money back, $37.23 in all, each under its own name in the tables.
- 3,319 informational rows with no money on them, counted nowhere.
