Dimensional weight, CBM, number of pallets calculation tool

Automatically calculates volumetric weight (factor can be selected), CBM, and estimated number of pallets required from box dimensions, weight, and number of boxes. Also supports cm/inch mixed input.

*Coefficients, rounding, and minimum charge weight vary depending on the shipping company/transportation mode.

Calculation formula/how to use

What is volumetric weight?

  • Volumetric weight/box (kg) = Volume (cm³) ÷ Factor
  • Select coefficient 5000 / 6000 / custom

What is CBM?

  • Volume (cm³) = L × W × H
  • CBM/Box (m³) = Volume (cm³) ÷ 1,000,000

How to consider the number of pallets

  • Compare the number of boxes per layer in two orientation patterns and adopt the maximum value.
  • Number of stages = floor(effective stacking height / box height)
  • Required number of pallets = ceil (number of boxes / number of boxes per sheet)

Common assumptions

  • Factors, rounding, and minimum chargeable weight vary depending on the shipping company and transportation mode.
  • Since loading during mixed loading varies depending on site conditions, the default value is the type-specific method.
  • Rounding applies only to billed weights (estimated) and not to raw values ​​of CBM or volumetric weights.

FAQ

Volumetric weight coefficients are different

You can select the coefficient (e.g. 5000/6000). If there is a coefficient specified by the shipping company, enter it in "Custom".

What about the cm/inch mix?

Dimensions and weights can be input with units and are automatically converted to display units. (Example: 15in → 38.1cm)

Multiple box sizes?

You can increase the number of rows by "Add box type" and calculate them by size all at once.

Is the number of pallets accurate?

This is a guideline. Actual loading will vary depending on orientation, gaps, curing, measures against cargo collapse, weight restrictions, etc., so please check the warehouse/transport company's regulations for final conditions.

Precautions

  • The results of this tool are approximate. Volume weight coefficient, rounding, minimum chargeable weight, and calculation unit (per piece/total) may differ depending on the shipping company and transportation mode (air/sea/home delivery).
  • The number of pallets varies depending on the loading conditions (orientation, clearance, cardboard strength, curing, prevention of cargo collapse, weight limit, etc.).
  • Please check the shipping company/forwarder's regulations for official quotation and billing terms.
