Where:

Base Rate is the standard UPS rate for the selected service
Weight Multiplier adjusts for package weight
Service Multiplier accounts for the selected UPS service level
Country Multiplier adjusts for EU country-specific rates

Assumptions

Worked Example

Let's calculate the estimated cost to ship a 10 lb package from New York, USA to Berlin, Germany using UPS Standard service.

Base Rate for UPS Standard: $25.00
Weight Multiplier (10 lbs): 1.2
Service Multiplier (Standard): 1.0
Country Multiplier (Germany): 1.1

Estimated Cost = ($25.00 × 1.2) + (1.0 × $25.00) + (1.1 × $25.00) = $30.00 + $25.00 + $27.50 = $82.50

The estimated cost for this shipment would be $82.50.
