CBM Calculator API

Disclaimer: We (CBM Calculator LLC) do not have any business deal with any transport/shipment company. The service (CBM Calculator) is available only for volume calculation of shipments. We do not gurantee the result obtained from the use of service will be effective, accurate or reliable.

All the calculations performed on the basis of below provided container dimensions and in case you need different dimension of container or you want to use different volumetric formula, please use our Android App .

CBM Calculation Formula

  • Length (in meter) X Width (in meter) X Height (in meter) = Cubic meter (m3)
  • We can define dimensions in Meter, Centimeter, Inch, Feet.

While creating a shipment record CBM Calculator display occupied weight and volume percentage of packets inside a container. CBM Calculator also allows the user to pre-define products and use them as per the requirement. In CBM Calculator user can define different types of Shipment Containers. By default CBM Calculator have details of STANDARD 20 FT, STANDARD 40 FT HIGH CUBE 40 FT Containers.

What is Volumetric Weight?

Large items with a light overall weight are charged according to the space they occupied.
In these cases, Volumetric Weight is used to calculate the shipment freight cost.
International Volumetric Weights are calculated using the formula below:

Length X Width X Height in centimetres / 5000 = Volumetric Weight in kilograms.

Multiply the length x height x width in centimetres and divide the answer by 5,000. The result is the volumetric weight. The answer should be compared with the actual weight in kg. Whichever is the greater figure should be used to charge by the shipment company.

For above calculation we had used following container dimensions

Container / Dimensions Length (cm) Width (cm) Height (cm)
20 FT Container 589 230 230
40 FT Container 1200 230 230
40 FT HIGH CUBE Container 1200 230 260

The CBM Calculator offers several key benefits for efficient cargo planning and logistics:

  • Optimized Container Loading: Achieve the most efficient use of container space by accurately calculating the cubic meter (CBM) of cargo. Maximize loading capacity and minimize wasted space.
  • Precise Volume and Weight Calculations: Easily determine the total volume and weight of your shipments. This ensures compliance with weight limits and facilitates accurate planning for transportation costs.
  • Streamlined Shipping Processes: Simplify the shipping process by quickly assessing how various products or packages can be arranged within a container. This feature enhances overall logistics planning and execution.
  • Time and Cost Savings: By optimizing container loads, businesses can reduce the number of shipments needed, leading to potential cost savings on transportation and logistics. Efficient loading also minimizes the time required for cargo handling.
  • Integration Flexibility: Seamlessly integrate the CBM Calculator into your existing systems, websites, ERP software, and other cloud-based applications. This ensures compatibility with your current workflow and enhances the overall efficiency of your operations.
  • Enhanced Accuracy: Eliminate guesswork and enhance accuracy in cargo planning. The CBM Calculator provides precise calculations, reducing the risk of errors associated with manual measurements and estimations.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Enjoy a user-friendly interface that simplifies the process of entering product details and selecting containers. Visualize loading plans in 3D for a better understanding of cargo distribution.
  • Improved Decision-Making: Access detailed insights into your cargo's volume and weight distribution, empowering better decision-making in terms of container selection, shipping methods, and overall logistics strategy.

In summary, the CBM Calculator is a valuable tool that brings efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility to cargo planning, resulting in cost-effective and streamlined shipping processes.
