What is this tool?

Carriers charge based on the greater of actual weight or volumetric (dimensional) weight. This calculator helps you predict your billable weight based on package dimensions.

Formula used

Volumetric Weight = (Length × Width × Height) / Carrier Divisor

Example calculation

For a 30x20x12 cm box using a 5000 divisor: (30 × 20 × 12) / 5000 = 1.44 kg volumetric weight.

When should sellers use it?

Check this when designing new product packaging or when selecting box sizes for fulfillment.
