Shipment Weight Formula

Gross Shipment Weight = Gold + Inner Packaging + Protective Material + Outer Package + Documents

Net Weight vs Gross Weight

Gold itself may be the commercially important weight, while a courier or logistics workflow may use the complete gross shipment weight. Keeping the two separate prevents confusion.

Carrier Billing Can Be Different

Some carriers use actual weight and others may compare actual weight with dimensional or volumetric weight. This calculator calculates physical mass only.

For freight billing, check the carrier's current dimensional-weight rules.
