Air Freight Chargeable Weight Calculator
Calculate volumetric weight and compare it with actual gross weight to find the chargeable weight. Add multiple package groups and choose the air-cargo, express-courier or contracted custom divisor.
Chargeable weight
0 kg
Actual 0 kg; volumetric 0 kg; divisor 5000 cm³/kg. The greater figure is chargeable.
Carrier rules, minimums, per-piece rating and rounding differ. Select the contracted tariff basis; do not use the express divisor for general air cargo or vice versa.
Recommended next step
Audit the calculated weight against the freight invoice.
