CBM calculator

Calculate the cubic volume of identical packages. Use the outside dimensions of the finished carton, pallet, or crate.

The calculation

Length × width × height (cm) × quantity ÷ 1,000,000 = cubic metres (CBM).

Example: 60 × 40 × 50 cm × 10 cartons = 1.20 CBM. For mixed package sizes, calculate each group separately and add the results.

What this estimate does not include

This is geometric volume, not a freight rate, chargeable weight, or container loading plan. Non-stackability, new packaging, carrier rounding, and handling limits can change booking requirements.
