Mixed shipments often contain several carton sizes, so one average carton can hide the true volume. This calculator totals CBM line by line and adds an optional allowance for pallet, loading or measurement buffer.

How to use it

Enter carton quantities and outside carton dimensions in centimeters. Keep unused lines at zero. Add your own rate per CBM only if you want a simple freight-cost estimate.

Limits

The result does not account for container utilization, stackability, weight limits, carrier rounding or freight surcharges.
