Work out your fuel surcharge on the peg you actually negotiated
There is no universal "standard" FSC — it is built off a base price you agree to. Enter your base, the current pump price and your MPG and the tool computes the surcharge per mile. Runs on your device.
Fuel Surcharge (FSC) Per-Mile Calculator
FSC per mile = (current diesel − your base) ÷ MPG. Below base, it is zero.
How it works: the surcharge covers only the diesel above your agreed base, spread over your MPG. Agree the base and the peg source in writing — there is no single national standard FSC. Nothing you enter leaves your device.
Make sure the rate covers it.
