Now its Total Shipping = Fixed Cost + Weight * RatePerWeightUnit + Subtotal * PercentageRateOfSubtotal ..

Thumbs up Filip!!
It could be very much improved if you add a new parameter:
Total Shipping = Fixed Cost +
(Weight - LowerWeightLimit) * RatePerWeightUnit + Subtotal * PercentageRateOfSubtotal
When charching by bracket shipping companies do it like this:
0 - 5kg $3
5 - 10kg $3 + $0.50 per
extra kg --->in this case ExtraKg= Weight - LowerWeightLimit
...
LowerWeightLimit can be left = 0, in case the charge for the bracket is by total weight and not by extra weight.
