Chargeable Weight Calculator

Paste carton details from Excel, turn them into an editable table, and calculate air freight and express chargeable weight instantly

1. Paste carton details

Accepts Excel cells, comma- or space-separated values, English or Chinese headers, combined dimensions such as 60×50×40, and lines like "8ctns 65*58*32". Parsing starts automatically when you paste.

Without headers: ① Pieces L W H Weight; ② L W H Weight (one piece); ③ Pieces L×W×H Weight; ④ 8ctns 65*58*32 (weight can be omitted and filled in the table later).

2. Calculation rules

Express only — the rules below never affect air freight chargeable weight

Two different rules: air freight compares total actual weight against total volumetric weight for the whole shipment. Express carriers compare each piece separately, round each piece up, then add them together — matching DHL / FedEx / UPS invoices. Cargo type, the oversize threshold, the carton overweight threshold and the pallet minimum chargeable weight are express-only rules: they affect express chargeable weight and surcharge notes, and never change air freight chargeable weight. Loose cartons are flagged when per-piece actual weight reaches the threshold; palletised cargo has a carrier minimum chargeable weight (default 68 kg per pallet), so anything below 68 kg is billed at 68 kg — this is normal rating, not an overweight surcharge. Divisors can be edited to match your service rules (commonly 6000 for air, 5000 for express).
