# Freight Rate Tiers

In the Freight Rate Tiers tab, you can create, edit and delete different freight rate tiers for the cargo. It is also possible to choose between a tiered and a volume rate model.&#x20;

**Tiered:** In tiered pricing, the per-unit freight rates are assigned to quantity-based ranges (tiers). When calculating the total freight, quantities are purchased from successive tiers, starting from the lowest.\
&#xNAN;_**Example:** In the below example, a cargo of 8000MT would have a freight rate of 11 USD for the first 4999MT and a freight rate of USD 12 for the remaining 3001MT. The freight rate will show as a weighted average on the cargo._&#x20;

**Volume**: Here too, the freight rate is quantity-based. However, the per-unit freight rate is dependent on the range within which the total quantity falls. So, under this model, you would define the quantity ranges and the per-unit freight rate for each.\
&#xNAN;_**Example:** In the below example, a cargo of 8000MT would have a freight rate of 12 USD for the entire quantity._&#x20;

If a cargo has one or more tiers in this section, the `Freight Rate` and `Rule` field in the [Main Cargo Details](../main-details#main-cargo-details) section will be uneditable. `Rule` will also be changed to `Rate`.
