About Volumetric Weight Calculator
Volumetric (dimensional) weight is a billing weight based on the space a parcel occupies instead of its mass. This calculator uses volumetric weight in kg = length × width × height in cm ÷ divisor, with a divisor of 6000, 5000, or 4000. Carriers charge for whichever is greater, the actual or the volumetric weight, which is shown as the chargeable weight. Divisors and rounding rules differ between carriers and services.

Which divisor should I use?
Use the one your carrier publishes for the service. 5000 is common for international express and air freight, and 6000 for many standard or domestic services. A smaller divisor gives a higher volumetric weight.
