[Rates based on weight](https://learn.fcrmedia.ie/knowledge/custom-rates-based-on-subtotal-or-weight#custom-rates-weight) ### Rates calculation Custom rates in your store are organized as table rows that consist of two parts: the subtotal or weight range, to which the rate applies, and the shipping rate itself. The shipping rate can be based on range only, i.e. it will be a flat amount that applies within the set subtotal or weight range. ![](https://learn.fcrmedia.ie/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/help.shopsettings.comhcarticle_attachments360007548494custom1.png) In the example above, the shipping fee will be: **$5.00** for orders up to **$9.99, $10.00** for orders from **$10.00** to **$49.99** and **$20.00** for orders from **$50.00** and up. The shipping rate can be based on range, subtotal and weight, i.e. it will be calculated within the set subtotal or range as a combination of a flat amount per order, a percent charge, a charge per item and per weight unit. ![](https://learn.fcrmedia.ie/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/help.shopsettings.comhcarticle_attachments360007606553custom2.png) In the example above the shipping fee for orders up to **$9.99** will be calculated as: **$5.00** + **$1.00** per each item in cart + **5%** of the cart price + **$0.50** per each lb. ### Rates based on subtotal To add a new custom shipping rate that depends on the cart price: 1.
