Shipping
Dimensional Weight Calculator
Calculate the billable weight of a package as the greater of actual weight or dimensional weight (L × W × H / carrier divisor). Use it to predict what carriers will actually charge you for shipping — especially important for bulky-but-light packages where dimensional weight dominates.

Shipping
Freight Class Calculator
Estimate the freight cost of an LTL (less-than-truckload) shipment by computing density and applying the per-hundred-pound rate, plus accessorial fees. Use it for B2B logistics planning where pallet density determines NMFC freight class and ultimately what you pay.
