How volumetric weight works

01

The Formula

Vol. weight (kg) = (L × W × H in cm) ÷ divisor. Surface freight uses ÷5,000; air freight uses ÷6,000.

02

Why It Matters

Couriers charge the higher of actual or volumetric weight. A big, light box often costs more than its actual weight suggests.

03

Who Uses ÷5,000?

Delhivery, BlueDart (surface), DTDC, Ecom Express, Ekart, and most road freight transporters in India.

04

Who Uses ÷6,000?

DHL, FedEx, UPS, BlueDart Air, and international courier services for air shipments.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use inches?

This calculator uses centimetres. To convert, multiply inches by 2.54 (e.g. 10 in = 25.4 cm).

I have different box sizes — how do I handle that?

Switch to the Multi-Package tab. Add each unique box size as a separate row and enter the quantity for that size.

Does this include GST?

No. This shows volumetric weight only. Your freight invoice will include base rate, fuel surcharge, and 5% GST on top.

Why is my shipping bill higher than expected?

If your box is large but light — think air-filled packaging — the volumetric weight exceeds actual weight and that higher figure gets billed.
