Understanding Volumetric Weight

Volumetric Weight, also known as Dimensional Weight, calculates the space occupied by a package
instead of only considering its actual physical weight. Courier companies use this calculation to determine
the chargeable weight of lightweight but large packages.

Formula

Volumetric Weight = (Length × Width × Height) ÷ Volumetric Divisor
  • Length, Width, Height in cm
  • Volumetric Divisor is usually 5000 for domestic shipments (may vary by courier)

Example

For a package measuring 40 × 30 × 20 cm:

(40 × 30 × 20) ÷ 5000 = 4.8 kg

Chargeable Weight

The chargeable weight is generally the higher of the Actual Weight and Volumetric Weight.

Actual Weight 3 kg
Volumetric Weight 4.8 kg
Chargeable Weight (Higher Value) 4.8 kg

HOW IT WORKS

4 simple steps to determine your package chargeable weight

1
Enter package dimensions

Provide the length, width, and height of your package in centimeters.

2
Calculate volumetric weight

Use the formula
(Length × Width × Height ÷ 5000)
to calculate volumetric weight.

3
Compare physical weight

The system compares volumetric weight with actual physical weight.

4
Determine chargeable weight

The higher value between actual and volumetric weight is used for shipping charges.

Note: Volumetric divisor may vary by courier and service type. Common divisor for domestic shipments is 5000.
