Enter carton dimensions and quantities to estimate total CBM, cubic feet, LCL revenue tons, air or courier volumetric weight, and container utilization in one place.
CBM is the space your cargo occupies
Use the outside packed carton size, multiply length, width, and height, then multiply by quantity. CBM is a first check for ocean LCL, storage, and container planning.
Calculation notes
CBM = length(m) x width(m) x height(m) x quantity

Logistics planning notice
This tool is a planning aid only. Actual freight charges, customs treatment, chargeable weight, carrier rules, warehouse limits, and contractual terms must be confirmed with the carrier, forwarder, warehouse, or official shipping documents.
Use the outside packed dimensions, quantity, and optional unit weight for each cargo row. The calculator shows total volume, cargo-row share, total weight, LCL billable RT, and a quick container capacity reference before you request a freight quote.
For freight, warehouse, and container planning, use the outside packed dimensions because that is the space the cargo occupies.
LCL sea freight often compares volume in CBM with weight in metric tons and bills against the larger reference. Always confirm the final rule with your forwarder.
Yes. Pallets, carton orientation, aisle space, handling rules, and payload limits can reduce practical loading below the simple volume capacity.
