DIM Weight Calculator

What is DIM Weight?

Dimensional weight reflects package density, which is the amount of space a package occupies in relation to its actual weight. The dimensional weight should be calculated on every shipment and compared to its actual weight, then use the greater of the two to determine the shipping cost. Shipment dimensional weights are calculated based in different factors using the formulas below. DIM weights are always expressed in pounds.

Enter the number of pieces, length, width, height, actual weight, and select your DIM factor.
