What Is Chargeable Weight and How Is It Calculated?

Chargeable weight is the pricing method used (higher than the actual and volumetric weight) to calculate the shipping cost of your parcel.

Example 1:

A parcel’s dimensions are 50cm x 50cm x 40cm, weighs 5kg, and uses UPS Worldwide Express to ship.

Actual weight = 5kg

Volumetric weight = (50x50x40)/5000 = 20kg

Chargeable weight = 20kg

As the volumetric weight is higher than the actual weight, the chargeable weight is the volumetric weight.

Example 2: 

A parcel’s dimensions are 20cm x 15cm x 5cm, weighs 20kg, and uses FedEx International Priority to ship.

Actual weight = 20kg

Volumetric weight = (20x15x5)/5000 = 0.3kg

Chargeable weight = 20kg

As the actual weight is higher than the volumetric weight, the chargeable weight is the actual weight.

Weight Brackets

The exact chargeable weight and shipping cost are determined based on the weight bracket the chargeable weight falls under. If the chargeable weight is between two ranges, the courier will round up to the next weight bracket to determine the cost.

Weight bracket ranges are generally in 1lb or 0.5kg increments. The Chargeable Weight in Easyship will show you the weight used based on the shipment’s weight bracket.

For example, the service UPS SurePost’s weight brackets go up in 1lb increments. A shipment using UPS SurePost with a weight of 3.2lbs and uses actual weight as the calculation method, the chargeable weight will be 4lbs.
