Shipping Cost Calculator: Calculate Parcel Shipping Charges Online

Calculate shipping cost from actual weight or volumetric weight with this free shipping cost calculator.

What Is a Shipping Cost Calculator?

A shipping cost calculator finds the chargeable weight and shipping cost for a parcel based on its actual weight and dimensions. Couriers use either actual weight or volumetric (dimensional) weight, whichever is greater, to determine the charge.

Knowing the chargeable weight before shipping helps you price delivery correctly on your invoices.

What Is Volumetric Weight?

Volumetric weight is a calculated weight based on the dimensions of the parcel rather than its actual weight. The formula is: length times width times height (in cm) divided by 5000 (for most courier companies in India).

A large but lightweight package may have a higher volumetric weight than actual weight, resulting in a higher shipping charge.

How to Calculate Shipping Cost

Find the actual weight. Calculate the volumetric weight using the parcel dimensions. The chargeable weight is the higher of the two. Multiply the chargeable weight by the per-kg rate for the destination.

This calculator does all the steps for you instantly.

Shipping Cost on Business Invoices

Many businesses charge customers for shipping as a separate line item. To price shipping correctly, you need to know the actual shipping cost you will incur.

Use this calculator to find your shipping cost and decide whether to pass it to the customer as-is or add a handling charge.

GST on Shipping

Shipping and freight services in India attract GST, typically at 18% for courier and express delivery. Add this to your shipping cost calculation when billing customers for delivery.

Use the shipping GST calculator on Tez Invoice to compute GST on any shipping charge.
