CBM 体积计算器

CBM(立方米)是海运和空运计费的标准体积单位。输入货物的长、宽、高和箱数,即可计算总体积、海运体积重量(按166 kg/m³换算)和空运抛重(按167 kg/m³换算)。计算结果适用于向货代申请LCL拼箱海运报价。

Formula

CBM = Length (m) × Width (m) × Height (m)

Convert all dimensions to metres first, then multiply. For multiple items: sum each item's volume × quantity. Example: 60cm × 40cm × 50cm = 0.6 × 0.4 × 0.5 = 0.12 m³.

Worked Example

Scenario: Shipment of 3 different carton sizes for an LCL sea freight quote.

Carton A: 60×40×50cm × 20 units = 0.12 m³ × 20 = 2.40 m³

Carton B: 80×60×60cm × 10 units = 0.288 m³ × 10 = 2.88 m³

Carton C: 40×30×30cm × 50 units = 0.036 m³ × 50 = 1.80 m³

Total: 7.08 m³

At a freight rate of £85/m³, the shipping cost would be 7.08 × £85 = £601.80.

Common Mistakes

  • Mixing units. Entering some dimensions in cm and others in metres gives wrong results. Set the unit selector and use it consistently for all items.
  • Using inner dimensions instead of outer. Freight is charged on the outer carton dimensions, not the product size inside.
  • Forgetting to multiply by quantity. If you have 20 identical cartons, enter 20 in the Qty field — the total CBM is per unit × quantity.

Guide

How to Use

  1. 1

    Select your unit

    Choose cm, m, in, or ft. All values are converted to metres automatically.

  2. 2

    Enter outer carton dimensions

    Measure length, width, and height of each carton or pallet type.

  3. 3

    Set the quantity

    Enter the number of identical units. CBM per item is multiplied by quantity.

  4. 4

    Add more items if needed

    Click "Add item" for each different carton or SKU type in your shipment.

  5. 5

    Get the total

    Click Calculate to see total m³ and estimated volumetric sea freight weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

业务示例

场景:您准备从广州出口一批电子产品到鹿特丹,共40箱,每箱尺寸60×50×40厘米。

· 单箱体积 = 0.60 × 0.50 × 0.40 = 0.12 m³

· 40箱总体积 = 0.12 × 40 = 4.80 CBM

· 海运体积重 = 4.80 × 333 = 1,598 kg(按海运换算系数)

· 向货代询价时,提供总CBM和实际货重,货代将以较大值计费。
