Volumetric weight calculator

Couriers bill you on whichever is higher: the weight on the scale or the volumetric weight of the box. Enter your package details to see the weight your shipment should be billed on.

Estimates only. Most Indian couriers use the /5000 divisor and 500 g slabs, but your courier’s contract may differ; verify with your provider.

How it is computed

Volumetric weight in kg is length × breadth × height / 5000, with dimensions in centimetres. That /5000 divisor is the standard used by most Indian couriers and aggregators, including Shiprocket. The applied weight is the higher of the actual weight and the volumetric weight, and couriers then round it up to the next 500 g slab for billing.

If a courier bills you on a weight higher than this applied weight, that difference is a weight discrepancy, and on most platforms you have only days to dispute it.

ClaimDesk runs this check on every shipment in your Shiprocket weight discrepancy export at once and shows the estimated amount you were likely overcharged.
