1. What is the Copart UK Fees Calculator?

The Copart UK Fees Calculator estimates the total fees associated with purchasing a vehicle through Copart UK auctions. It calculates fees based on bid amount, fee rate, storage costs, and delivery charges.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Copart UK fees formula:

Where:

• \( Bid \) — The winning bid amount in pounds (£)
• \( Fee\ Rate \) — The applicable fee rate (dimensionless)
• \( Storage \) — Storage costs in pounds (£)
• \( Delivery \) — Delivery charges in pounds (£)

Explanation: The equation calculates total fees by multiplying the bid amount by the fee rate, then adding storage and delivery costs.
