CBM & WEIGHT CALCULATOR
Volume & Weight Calculator
Measure the longest dimensions after packing. Results are estimates for consultation; final freight calculations follow carrier terms.
CHARGEABLE WEIGHT
Actual & Volumetric Weight Calculation
The larger value is shown as the reference weight.
Total Actual Weight100.0 kg
Volumetric Weight166.7 kg
Reference Chargeable Weight166.7 kg
Formula: L(cm) × W(cm) × H(cm) ÷ selected divisor × quantity. Applied divisors and rounding rules vary by carrier.
Calculation Guide: The greater of volumetric and actual weight is often used for freight charges, but actual billing rules depend on transport mode, route, minimum chargeable weight, goods, packaging and contract terms.
HOW TO CALCULATE
Volume & Weight Calculations
Learn how sea freight volume and airline volumetric and chargeable weights are calculated.
Sea Freight Volume (CBM)
For sea LCL cargo, convert all outer package dimensions to meters, then multiply length, width, height and quantity to calculate volume.
L(m) × W(m) × H(m) × QuantityAir Freight Volumetric Weight
Airlines measure outer package dimensions in centimeters and divide by the volumetric weight divisor specified in their freight rules.
L(cm) × W(cm) × H(cm) ÷ Divisor × QuantityAir Freight Chargeable Weight
Air freight generally compares total actual and volumetric weight and uses the higher value as the reference chargeable weight.
