Volumetric Weight Calculator
Calculate the volumetric (DIM) weight of your cargo using the standard 3000 divisor formula. Compare with actual weight to find your billable shipping cost.
📐 How is it calculated?
Volumetric Weight (kg) = (Length × Width × Height) / Divisor. Most carriers use 3,000 (Turkey standard). International air cargo often uses 5,000 or 6,000.

This tool uses the standard 3,000 divisor used by Turkish cargo companies. Some logistics firms may use different divisors (e.g. 5,000). Calculations are advisory only. The official shipping fee is determined by the carrier's own measurement systems. Numvion cannot be held liable for any financial discrepancies arising from calculation differences.
The Volumetric Weight Calculator (also known as dimensional weight or DIM weight) helps you determine the billable weight of your shipment. Carriers charge based on whichever is greater: the actual physical weight or the volumetric weight — which reflects how much space a package occupies in the carrier's vehicle or aircraft. Understanding this calculation is essential for anyone who ships packages regularly and wants to avoid unexpected costs.
The formula is straightforward: Volumetric Weight (kg) = (Length × Width × Height in cm) ÷ Divisor. The most common divisor used by Turkish domestic carriers (Yurtiçi Kargo, Aras Kargo, MNG Kargo, PTT Kargo) is 3,000. For international air freight, airlines and express couriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS) typically use 5,000 or 6,000. This difference can be significant: a lightweight but bulky package like a pillow might physically weigh 0.5 kg but have a volumetric weight of 3 kg, meaning you'd pay for 3 kg.
