1 CBM = 1 cubic meter. This calculator estimates occupied volume only; it does not calculate freight price.
Frequently asked questions
What is the CBM formula?
Convert each carton dimension to meters, then multiply Length × Width × Height. Multiply the result by the number of cartons for total CBM.
Should I use product size or carton size?
Use the external dimensions of the packed shipping carton when estimating occupied shipment volume.
Does CBM determine the freight price?
No. Freight pricing may also depend on weight, route, carrier rules, service level, handling, and other charges.
