Dimensional Weight Calculator

Check whether a large lightweight package may be billed by volume instead of scale weight.

Dimensional Weight Calculator estimate

Enter values, then calculate.

How the estimate works

Dimensional weight equals package cubic inches divided by the entered carrier divisor. Billing weight rounds up the larger of actual and dimensional weight.

Important limitation

Carrier divisors, rounding, package measurements, zones, service levels, and surcharges vary. Results are estimates only and are not financial, lending, legal, tax, or investment advice.
