How to use

  1. Enter Length m.
  2. Enter Width m.
  3. Enter Loaded height m.
  4. Calculate, then review units, cost scope and billing rule before comparing.

How it is calculated

Volume m³ = length × width × height

Example

A 1.2×1 m pallet loaded to 1.5 m has a geometric volume of 1.8 m³ and base area of 1.2 m².

Important notes

Geometric volume does not mean all space is used. Carton shape, stacking, gaps and pallet overhang determine practical utilization.

Frequently asked questions

Should pallet deck height be included?

If you need full external shipping volume, use total height including the pallet itself.

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.
