Volumetric Weight Calculator

Volumetric weight, sometimes called "dim" or dimensional weight, is used when the space a package takes on an aircraft may cost more than the package's actual weight.
You should calculate dimensional weight on every shipment, and compare that to its actual weight, and use the greater of the two to determine your shipping cost.

If you have a Javascript compatible browser, you can use our quick calculator below.
To calculate the volumetric weight of a tubular package, enter the diameter of the package into the Width box and leave the Height box empty.
