Yes you are right Jochem, my mistake. 

I made the query so it accepted the two vars when I was testing, but I don't
want to have to do that. 

I want it to go through and give me all of them like you said, grouped by
company_name, container_no with the factored total of each in-out*rate
beside each company name, container number and the factored total of that
group.

IN usually is a keyword in databases. Can you still change that name?

That does not make sense. If you specify the container_no and 
company_name like you say above then you will obviously not get 
distinct records.

I think you want:
SELECT
   company_name,
   container_no,
   SUM(("IN" - out) * rate) AS total_rate
FROM
   rate_calc
GROUP BY
   company_name,
   container_no

If that doesn't work, please include your table schema.
