How freight density is calculated
How it works
Use this local planning estimate to compare axis-aligned package dimensions and declared quantities. Calculation rules, units, limits, orientations, and rounding remain code-owned.
Formula and units
Formula and decision logic
Divide declared shipment weight in kg by calculated shipment volume in m³. A conversion is also shown in lb/ft³.
Units and rounding
Weight uses kg or lb and dimensions use cm or in. Density is shown to one decimal place in kg/m³ and two decimal places in lb/ft³.
Assumptions
Assumptions
- Inputs describe regular rectangular packages and planning dimensions.

Limitations
- Results are not quotations, load plans, safety approvals, or carrier acceptance decisions.
Density example
- Weight: 160.2 kg
- Volume: 10.0 m³
16.0 kg/m³ (approximately 1.00 lb/ft³).
