Actual vs dimensional weight

Formula: dimensional weight = length x width x height / divisor.

For beginners: how to read this result

Carriers bill the larger weightA light but large box may bill by space, not scale weight.

Lower divisor means higher dim weightCompare two divisors to see sensitivity.

Rounding mattersMany shipments round billable weight up to the next pound.

Dimensional weight charges a shipment for the space it occupies when that value is higher than scale weight. This calculator compares actual weight with two dimensional divisors so you can see how packaging size changes billable pounds.

How to use it

Enter outside package dimensions in inches, actual weight in pounds and the divisors you want to compare. Add a per-pound rate if you want an estimated cost difference.

Limits

The calculator does not quote any carrier tariff and does not include zones, minimum charges, surcharges or service rules.
