Dimensional Weight Calculator

Carriers bill you on whichever is greater: actual weight or dimensional weight. Enter your box and see which one applies — and how much you are paying to ship empty space.

Units

Your box

Your product (optional)

Add your product size to see how much of the box is empty air, and what a right-sized box would cost.

140% more than the goods actually weigh

Divisors vary by carrier, service and region, and they change. Confirm the divisor in your own carrier contract before using these figures to check an invoice.
