About these tools

Freight forwarders, couriers, shippers and warehouses price and plan cargo by volume, weight, container capacity and pallet capacity. The CBM Calculator works out the volume of one carton and of a whole shipment in cubic metres and cubic feet. The Volumetric Weight Calculator compares actual and volumetric weight to find the chargeable weight. The Container Loading Calculator estimates how many cartons fit in a container by volume and by a simple loading grid. The Pallet Loading Calculator estimates how many cartons fit on a pallet by a simple base-orientation grid fit, and how many pallets a quantity needs.

Volumes, weights and loading estimates are calculated with exact decimal arithmetic and rounded only for display, and every result shows its working so you can check it before you share a quote.

The calculators run entirely in your browser. The dimensions and weights you enter are never sent to a server.

Frequently asked questions

Are these logistics calculators free?

Yes. The calculators are free to use, with no sign-up and no ads.

Which units can I use?

Dimensions in centimetres, metres, millimetres or inches throughout. The CBM Calculator shows cubic metres (CBM) and cubic feet; the Volumetric Weight Calculator accepts weights in kilograms, grams or pounds and shows kilograms; the Container and Pallet Loading Calculators show cubic metres, area and carton counts.

Do these calculators give the freight rate or a guaranteed loading plan?

No. They give volume, chargeable weight and loading estimates, not prices or a certified stowage or load-safety plan. Confirm freight rates with your carrier or forwarder, and verify the final loading plan with a freight forwarder or logistics professional before shipment.
