Volumetric Weight Calculator

Volumetric weight is calculated using the formula: Length × Width × Height (cm) ÷ 6000. Our Volumetric Weight Calculator automates this process to show whether your cargo is charged by weight or space.

Chargeable weight is the greater value between actual weight and volumetric weight. The Volumetric Weight Calculator compares both to identify the chargeable weight used to calculate air freight costs.

Bulky but lightweight cargo takes up valuable space. To ensure fair pricing, carriers use volumetric weight for billing. Our Volumetric Weight Calculator reveals whether your cargo will be charged by size instead of weight.

Reducing box size and using compact packing can significantly lower volumetric weight. The Volumetric Weight Calculator lets you test different package dimensions to see how small changes can cut shipping costs.

If your package has low density and the chargeable weight is much higher than the actual weight, repacking may help. Use our Volumetric Weight Calculator to detect this and find cost-saving opportunities.

Our Volumetric Weight Calculator is tailored for air freight and uses the standard divisor of 6000. It's suitable for most commercial shipments, but not ideal for sea or land freight which use different calculations.

The Volumetric Weight Calculator accepts dimensions in centimeters (cm) and weight in kilograms (kg). For other units, manual conversion is required before input.

Yes. The Volumetric Weight Calculator helps logistics professionals and shippers identify cost inefficiencies caused by excess volume, allowing smarter packaging and shipping decisions.

No. The Volumetric Weight Calculator does not give price quotes or compare carrier rates. It strictly calculates volumetric and chargeable weight to help you estimate potential cost differences based on weight vs volume.
