About this calculator

Carriers charge by the larger of a parcel's actual weight and its volumetric weight, which is worked out from its size. Enter the parcel size and weight, your carrier's divisor and price per kilogram or pound to see what a parcel really costs to ship.

How it works

  • Volumetric weight is length times width times height, divided by the divisor.
  • Billable weight is the larger of the actual and the volumetric weight.
  • The cost is the billable weight times the price, plus surcharges, plus packaging.

Common questions

Where do I find the divisor and the price?

In your carrier's terms and rate card. Divisors and prices differ by carrier, service and country, so we do not fill in a rate for you.

Why is a light box expensive to ship?

A large, light box is charged by size because it takes up space on the vehicle. A smaller box can cut the price.
