# Various items Rules

The various rule, together with the Rate, determines the total amount the various item is estimated at. These values then appear in the voyage P\&L.

In most cases, the various amount is estimated as Q x Rate

$$
Amount = Quantity \times Rate
$$

However, different various types calculate the quantity differently based on the chosen rule.

In the table below, you may find all various rules that can be found in the system and the respective entities that support these types:
