Chargeable Weight Calculator
Compare the weight on the scale with the space your packed carton occupies. Use the result to plan a business shipment, then confirm the charging method for your service.

Three Weights, One Charging Basis
Actual Weight
The gross weight of the finished packed carton, including its protective packaging.
Volumetric Weight
A weight equivalent based on the carton’s outside dimensions and the selected divisor.
Chargeable Weight
Commonly the higher measure, subject to the agreed rounding, minimum and multi-piece rules.
Illustrative Formula · Centimetres and Kilograms
Length × width × height ÷ selected divisor = volumetric weight (kg)
Read How Is Chargeable Weight Calculated? for a fuller explanation.
Worked Example: One Packed Carton
Suppose a carton measures 50 × 40 × 30 cm and weighs 8 kg when packed. Its volume is 60,000 cm³.
With an illustrative divisor of 5,000, volumetric weight is 12 kg. The higher figure is 12 kg before rounding.
With an illustrative divisor of 6,000, volumetric weight is 10 kg. The higher figure is 10 kg before rounding.
These divisors show how the same carton can produce different results. They are examples, not a statement that either divisor is available for your ShipaX shipment. The agreed service may also round dimensions or weights, apply a minimum, or use another charging method.
Before You Quote
Check Your Packing Details
Measure the Outer Carton
Include protective packing and protrusions. Recheck after the supplier changes the carton.
List Every Piece
Enter each carton separately, or record the quantity of identical cartons. Do not add dimensions into one imaginary box.
Review Repacking
Combining supplier stock may change the piece count.
Common Questions Before You Use the Result
No. It depends on the packed dimensions, gross weight and divisor. Under services that compare the two, the higher measure normally controls.
No. Confirm it for the specific provider, service and measurement units. An example divisor is not a ShipaX service term.
Enter each carton separately, or provide the quantity of identical cartons. The provider may also apply shipment-level rules.
No. For freight and any additional services, request an itemised quote for your goods, route and receiving point.
