How to calculate dimensional weight
Dimensional weight is calculated by multiplying the width, height, and length of a package, and dividing it by a dim divisor.
A dim divisor is a number used by shipping carriers, and varies based on what carrier you are shipping with. To easily calculate your dimensional weight, use our DIM weight calculator.

What is dimensional weight?
Dim divisors per carrier
Why is dimensional weight important?
This encourages shippers to optimize packaging and reduce waste. Previously, prices were determined by the weight and distance your item needed to go which led to inefficiencies.
For instance, a large lightweight package could be charged the same as a small heavy one. Since there’s limited room on a delivery truck, this method didn’t account for the space packages occupied. So, a large box filled with lightweight items could end up costing more than a small box containing heavy items. Thus, wasting resources and money. Now with dimensional pricing, rates reflect the true cost of transporting the package.
