# Various Rule: Percentage on Freight

The Percentage on Freight rule calculates the amount as the cargo freight the various item is created for divided by 100 and multiplied by the entered rate.

$$
Amount = Cargo Freight \div 100  \times Rate
$$

For example, if the cargo freight is 100,000 USD, and various rate is 10 EUR, the various amount will be 100,000 / 1.2 / 100 \* 10 = 8,333.33

$$
100,000 \div 1.2 \div 100 \times 10 = 8,333.3(3)
$$

where 1.2 is the exchange rate between USD and EUR.

### Important notes about the Percentage on Freight rule

* If the freight changes, the various amount will remain the same and will not automatically adjust to the new freight.
