How it is calculated
Chargeable weight = max(actual weight, dimensional weight)
Example
An actual weight of 9 kg and dimensional weight of 12 kg gives 12 kg chargeable weight and a 3 kg difference.
Important notes
A carrier may round upward or apply minimums after selecting the weight. This calculator only selects the larger value before extra billing rules.

Frequently asked questions
What if actual weight is larger?
Actual weight becomes the chargeable weight under the larger-of-two rule.
Is the result an actual carrier quote?
No. The calculator applies your inputs mathematically; carriers may use minimums, zones, tiers, fees and different rounding rules.
What matters most before comparing?
Keep units, period and cost scope consistent, and know whether pricing uses actual, dimensional or chargeable weight.
