Live result6.00 kgDimensional weight 6.00 kg vs actual 5.00 kg; divisor 4,000. Dimensional weight applies.

Formula used

Dimensional weight = length cm x width cm x height cm / carrier divisor. Chargeable weight = max(dimensional weight, actual weight).

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

6.00 kgDimensional weight 6.00 kg vs actual 5.00 kg; divisor 4,000. Dimensional weight applies.

Inputs

Carrier divisor: Australia Post / StarTrack divide by 4,000
Length: 40 cm
Width: 30 cm
Height: 20 cm
Actual weight: 5 kg

Method

Dimensional weight = length cm x width cm x height cm / carrier divisor. Chargeable weight = max(dimensional weight, actual weight).

A 40 cm x 30 cm x 20 cm parcel with a 4,000 divisor has dimensional weight of 6 kg. If actual weight is 5 kg, the chargeable weight is 6 kg.

Assumptions

This calculator is for planning and education, not legal, tax, medical, immigration, engineering or financial advice.
Use current official rates, contracts, carrier terms, statutes or professional guidance before relying on the result.
