Volumetric Weight Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Volumetric Weight.
VW = PL * PW * PH / 138.345
Variables:
- VW is the Volumetric Weight (lbs)
- PL is the parcel length (in)
- PW is the parcel width (in)
- PH is the parcel height (in)
How to Calculate Volumetric Weight?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Volumetric Weight.
- First, determine the parcel length (in).
- Next, determine the parcel width (in).
- Next, determine the parcel height (in).
- Next, gather the formula from above = VW = PL * PW * PH / 138.345.
- Finally, calculate the Volumetric Weight.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
parcel length (in) = 10
parcel width (in) = 5
parcel height (in) = 6VW = PL * PW * PH / 138.345 = ?
