Quick answer

Couriers charge the higher of actual weight and volumetric weight. In India most couriers and marketplaces use length × breadth × height in cm divided by 5,000 (some use 4,000 for express). A 30 × 25 × 10 cm box weighing 0.6 kg has a volumetric weight of 1.5 kg, so you pay for 1.5 kg, not 0.6 kg. Smaller boxes save money.

How to use this calculator

Measure the packed box, not the product, in centimetres.
Weigh the packed parcel.
Pick the divisor your courier or marketplace uses.

Formula

Volumetric weight (kg) = Length × Breadth × Height (cm) ÷ 5,000

Chargeable weight = the higher of actual and volumetric weight, rounded up to the next 0.5 kg slab
