Weight Calculator
Convert between kg and lbs for large orders. Helpful when your supplier quotes per carton but you need total shipment weight.
Optional: per-unit dimensions (for volumetric / dimensional weight check)
Volumetric / chargeable weight rules
- Air freight chargeable kg = (L × W × H in cm) ÷ 6,000. Express couriers (DHL/FedEx/UPS) use ÷ 5,000.
- Sea LCL chargeable: 1 CBM is treated as 1,000 kg — you pay on whichever is greater (W/M, weight-or-measure).
- If volumetric weight > actual weight, your cargo is "light & bulky" — better packaging or denser palletisation directly cuts costs.
- ⚠ Lithium batteries and dangerous goods cannot be shipped without a Shipper's Declaration (IATA DGR / IMDG); rates are 2–5× standard.

Popular suburb routes for calculator users:
Actual weight and volumetric weight are different
- Enter the number of packages and the gross weight per package, including packaging.
- Add outside package dimensions to compare actual and dimensional weight.
- Check the divisor and minimum charge for the service on your written quotation.
Example and interpretation
10 cartons at 8 kg each weigh 80 kg. At 60 × 40 × 50 cm per carton, the tool’s air divisor of 6,000 gives 200 kg volumetric weight; its courier divisor of 5,000 gives 240 kg. These example chargeable weights exceed the actual 80 kg.
Before you rely on the result
The tool uses example air and courier divisors. Carriers and contracted services can apply different divisors, rounding and minimums. A result is a planning estimate, not a carrier acceptance or booking.
