CBM & Weight Calculator
Calculate aggregate cargo CBM and known entered weight from manual entries or a browser-local CSV reviewed before replacement against four container references. Unknown weights suppress payload guidance, while complete finite oversize and over-limit assessments remain downloadable with warnings. Scope: the calculator adds cargo volume and entered weight per item times quantity and screens each cargo type's dimensions in orthogonal orientations against generic references. Additional-unit upper bounds check remaining volume and payload, but are withheld when any weight is zero or a cargo unit is oversized. Complete finite assessments can be exported when cargo is oversized, over volume, or over payload, and the PDF retains those warnings; incomplete, malformed, non-finite, or numeric-range cargo cannot be exported. Aggregate utilization is not physical packing optimization: the calculator does not confirm physical fit or simulate mixed-load placement, stacking, door clearance, securing, weight distribution, packing materials, or carrier-specific usable internal dimensions. Confirm physical feasibility and current limits with your carrier or freight forwarder.

What you enter
- A container type with its generic reference dimensions, stated volume, and maximum weight
- Each cargo item's name, dimensions, quantity, dimension unit, weight unit, and weight per item; weight per item is multiplied by quantity, zero is treated as unknown for capacity guidance, and rows can be entered manually or previewed from a browser-local CSV before an explicit replacement
What the tool produces
- Aggregate cargo volume in cubic meters, total item count, known entered-weight total, and nominal remaining volume plus payload when known
- A side-by-side comparison across all four configured references with rotation-aware single-unit dimension screens, uncapped volume utilization, payload utilization when weights are known, and selection only for eligible references
- Aggregate volume and payload estimates that do not model placement, stacking, weight distribution, or guarantee a packing plan
- Independent per-cargo arithmetic upper bounds capped by both remaining CBM and payload, withheld for unknown weights or oversize cargo
- Explicit oversize, over-volume, and overweight warnings retained in the aggregate-estimate PDF for complete finite cargo; incomplete, malformed, non-finite, and numeric-range cargo cannot be exported
- An aggregate CBM gauge and downloadable aggregate CBM and weight estimate PDF
