- Chargeable days = max(0; [Days at terminal] − [Free days])
- Tier 1 days = min([Chargeable days]; [Tier 1 days])
- Tier 1 amount = [Tier 1 days] × [Tier 1 daily rate]
- Tier 2 days = min(max([Chargeable days] − [Tier 1 days]; 0); [Tier 2 days])
- Tier 2 amount = [Tier 2 days] × [Tier 2 daily rate]
- Days thereafter = max([Chargeable days] − [Tier 1 days] − [Tier 2 days]; 0)
- Amount thereafter = [Days thereafter] × [Daily rate thereafter]
- Demurrage per container = [Tier 1 amount] + [Tier 2 amount] + [Amount thereafter]
