R-Tariff
Calculate International Rail Freight Rates
R-Tariff helps logistics companies, freight forwarders, rolling stock operators, and cargo owners accurately calculate freight charges, additional fees, taxes, distances, and standard transit times for international routes that cross multiple countries and multiple tariff systems.
Supported countries
A professional solution for calculating rail freight costs across the 1520 mm gauge network — covering key Eurasian routes connecting China and Europe.
A Complete Platform for Rail Freight Cost Calculation
Accurate calculation
The software automatically determines:
- the calculation rules and governing documents depending on the direction of transport;
- correction coefficients, special rates, exceptional tariffs, and a range of additional fees;
- the marshalling plan for wagons and containers in international traffic.
Additional modules extend the calculation to cover related charges: wagon and container demurrage/usage fees, infrastructure charges, and payments for operations not directly related to the rail transport process itself. All of this is calculated within a single tool.
Updates are released regularly and installed automatically — the software always works with the latest tariff conditions.
Accurate calculation
Rail tariff calculation for international transport is one of the most labor-intensive tasks in logistics: each leg of the route has its own rules, rates, coefficients, and exceptions. R-Tariff automates this process, drawing on the current and upcoming regulatory documents issued by the railway administrations.
- Calculation for the current, future, or past date.
- Verification of rates for shipments already completed.
- Tariff archive dating back to 2003 for analysing changes and validating the economics of a shipment.
Support of complex logistics scenarios
R-Tariff is designed not only for standard shipments, but also for real-world operational situations:
- single-wagon, container, less-than-carload (LCL), grouped, and block-train shipments;
- block trains with distribution at destination and consolidated shipments;
- out-of-gauge (oversized) cargo;
- combined calculation of loaded and empty runs;
- re-consignment, detaching wagons for repair en route, and routing via a washing/steaming station;
- application of custom conditions and special rates.
This breadth of coverage makes R-Tariff equally valuable for commercial pricing and for day-to-day transport management.
Convenience in everyday work
- Calculation wizard, templates, rolling stock and cargo directories, route archive.
- Saving calculations, route adjustment, automatic exchange rate updates.
- Export and printing of results in convenient formats.
- Direct access to regulatory documents from the calculation window.
- Integration with related products — R-Info (reference information) and R-Atlas (railway network map).
Transparency of calculation
R-Tariff displays not only the total cost of the shipment, but the full tariff structure for each leg of the route: transit time, minimum weight norm, chargeable weight, base rate, applied coefficients, additional fees, VAT, and other components.
Every element of the calculation can be traced back to the specific regulatory document and rule on which it is based. This makes the result clear, verifiable, and suitable both for commercial use and for internal audit.
Batch calculations
Up to 200 calculations at once: different routes, different cargoes, loaded and empty runs in a single table. Ideal for:
- preparing commercial quotations;
- tender calculations;
- comparing alternative routes;
- the everyday work of sales and logistics teams.
Results are exported to MS Excel. The source data is saved — the price list can be recalculated for a different date at any time.
Always Up-to-Date Data
The system supports both automatic and manual updates of tariffs, regulations, exchange rates, and reference data. This eliminates the risk of using outdated information and ensures the ongoing accuracy of calculations.
Flexibility and Control
The software allows users to manually adjust routes and view a detailed, step-by-step breakdown of calculations for each country, including the applied rules, coefficients, and charges. This improves transparency and gives users full control over the final result.
Efficiency and Productivity
With calculation templates, route archives, custom cargo and rolling stock directories, and powerful batch calculation tools, users can prepare commercial quotations and tender proposals faster and with greater consistency.
