Dimensional weight (DIM weight) calculator
DIM weight = length x width x height / divisor. Billable weight is the greater of the actual and dimensional weight, each rounded up to the next whole pound (or the next 0.5 kg with the 5000 divisor). This is an estimate: carriers set their own divisors, rounding and minimums, so confirm with your carrier rate guide or account.

What is dimensional weight and how is it calculated?
Dimensional (DIM) weight is a pricing weight carriers use for light but bulky boxes. Multiply length x width x height and divide by the carrier DIM divisor. In inches, a 20 x 16 x 12 in box is 3,840 cubic inches, and 3,840 / 139 = 27.6, so its DIM weight rounds up to 28 lb. The carrier bills the greater of the actual weight and the DIM weight.
Which DIM divisor should I use: 139, 166 or 5000?
The most common values are 139 for UPS and FedEx daily rates (inches and pounds), 166 for USPS and many retail rates (inches and pounds), and 5000 for centimeters and kilograms, which many international services use. Divisors, rounding rules and minimums can change and can differ by account, so check your carrier rate guide or contract for the value that applies to you.
What is the difference between a metric ton, a short ton and a long ton?
