THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Rates are supplied and no waste classification or disposal authorization is determined; all weights use the same mass basis.
Start with your inputs
Enter measured waste loads by type (tonnes), gate fees per tonne by type (currency), tickets received by type, expected tickets by type, fixed haulage total (currency). Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Measured waste loads by type (tonnes) | 2,3 |
| Gate fees per tonne by type (currency) | 100,80 |
| Tickets received by type | 2,2 |
| Expected tickets by type | 2,3 |
| Fixed haulage total (currency) | 50 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, disposal charges by type (currency) is 200, 240. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Disposal charges by type (currency) | 200, 240 |
| Total disposal and haulage (currency) | 490 |
| Missing tickets by type | 0, 1 |
How this is calculated
Disposal charges by type (currency)
Multiply measured loads by their entered gate tariffs.
Total disposal and haulage (currency)
Add gate fees and fixed haulage.
Missing tickets by type
Compare expected and received disposal records.

Assumptions and limits
Rates are supplied and no waste classification or disposal authorization is determined; all weights use the same mass basis.
Calculations use the values you enter. Blank or invalid inputs show an error instead of silently substituting zero. Results are displayed to useful precision; calculations retain the underlying numeric precision.
Questions about this tool
What does the result tell me?
Disposal charges by type (currency); Total disposal and haulage (currency); Missing tickets by type. The result applies to the method and inputs described above. Check the units and assumptions before using it in a decision.
Why might another calculator differ?
Differences in units, rounding, timing or model definitions can produce different answers. Compare the input definitions and the method, rather than only the final number. For this tool: Rates are supplied and no waste classification or disposal authorization is determined; all weights use the same mass basis.
Are my inputs stored or sent to AI?
