Shipping Volumetric Weight Calculator
Calculate volumetric weight from dimensions and a divisor, and compare it with actual weight.
Check your courier’s terms: volumetric weight = length × width × height ÷ divisor. Many couriers then round up to the next 0.5 kg.
Your result
Enter the three box measurements in centimetres.
How to use it
- Enter the dimensions in centimetres.
- Leave the divisor empty for 5000, or type the carrier's divisor.
- Add the actual weight if you know it.
Examples
- 40×30×20 and a weight of 340, 30, 20, divisor 5000, and actual 3. Volumetric 4.80, actual 3.00, and chargeable 4.80.
- 10×10×1010, 10, and 10 with the divisor empty. The volumetric weight is 0.20 kg.
- A side of zeroLength 0. A message asks for a side above zero.
Tool details and privacy
The grams are length times width times height, divided by the divisor. Kilograms are shown to two decimals. An empty divisor means 5000.
The chargeable weight is the greater of the volumetric and the actual weight. 10×10×10 on 5000 is 0.20 kg.
Options
- Dimensions are in centimetres and use two decimals. The default divisor is 5000. It does not know one carrier's divisor.
Limits
- Amounts use two decimal places and up to 12 digits before the decimal point. Rounding is half up.
- 1,250 is rejected. Write 1250 or 1250.50.
- The chargeable weight is the greater one, not the sum.
