What Is the UPS Shipping Calculator?

The UPS Shipping Calculator is a convenient online tool that estimates shipping costs based on your package's size, weight, delivery speed, and destination. Whether you're sending a small parcel across the country or a larger package internationally, this calculator gives you a fast and informative estimate of potential charges using the most recent UPS 2025 pricing.

How the UPS Calculator Works

This tool calculates both the actual weight and the dimensional weight of your package. The final shipping cost is based on whichever of these is greater. Additional factors like delivery type (residential or commercial), optional services (such as Saturday delivery), and insurance coverage also influence the total.

Dimensional Weight Formula (UPS 2025):
Dimensional Weight (lbs) = (Length × Width × Height) ÷ 139
UPS bills based on whichever is higher: actual weight or dimensional weight.

FAQ

Is this an official UPS tool?

No, this is an independent shipping estimator that uses UPS 2025 rate data. For exact rates and pickup options, refer to the official UPS website.

Can I use this for international shipping?

Yes, you can select the "International" option and choose your destination country to receive international rate estimates.

What is dimensional weight and why does it matter?

Dimensional weight reflects how much space a package takes up, not just how much it weighs. If the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight, UPS charges based on the dimensional value.

Can I compare all services?

Yes. All available UPS shipping options are listed with their respective costs and delivery times so you can compare and choose the best fit.
