Chargeable Weight Calculator
Enter each package group separately, choose the tariff basis and compare summed volumetric weight with total actual weight. Express 5,000 cm³/kg, general air cargo 6,000 cm³/kg and 139 in³/lb modes are kept distinct to prevent under-rating.
Chargeable weight
0 kg
Actual 0 kg; volumetric 0 kg; divisor 5000 cm³/kg. The greater figure is chargeable.
Carrier rules, minimums, per-piece rating and rounding differ. Select the contracted tariff basis; do not use the express divisor for general air cargo or vice versa.
Recommended next step
Audit the calculated weight against the freight invoice.
What this tool helps you check
- Compare actual and volumetric weight
- Calculate multiple package groups
- Switch between express and air-cargo divisors
- Audit a forwarder rating basis
Calculation method
Volumetric weight is calculated from package dimensions, quantity and the selected divisor. Chargeable weight is the higher of summed actual and volumetric weight.
Airlines, couriers and tariffs may apply different divisors, rounding increments or minimum weights. Use the contracted rating rule.
