Cubic feet is a volume measurement used to calculate the space occupied by packages, cartons, pallets, and freight shipments. It’s widely used in shipping, warehousing, and logistics to calculate storage capacity and freight volume. One cubic foot represents the volume of a container measuring 1 ft × 1 ft × 1 ft.
To calculate cubic feet, multiply the length, width, and height of the object:
Volume = length × width × height
If your measurements are in feet, the calculated result will be the total volume in cubic feet. If you are using inches, centimeters, or meters, convert the measurements before calculating or use our calculator for instant results.
A cubic feet calculator is commonly used across shipping, warehousing, logistics, and inventory management to accurately measure package and storage volume.

If your package dimensions are measured in inches, you can easily convert the volume into cubic feet. Simply calculate the total cubic inches by multiplying the length, width, and height, then divide result by 1,728. This method is commonly used for measuring shipping boxes, cartons, pallets, and other freight shipments.
If your package dimensions are in another unit, convert each measurement to feet before calculating the volume.
After converting the dimensions into feet, calculate the volume using:
Length × Width × Height = Cubic Feet
If you have already calculated the total volume in another unit, you can convert it directly into cubic feet using the following conversions:
For the most accurate shipping calculations, convert all measurements to the same unit before performing any volume calculations.
After converting the total volume, you’ll get the final result in cubic feet. If you’re working with different measurement units for each dimension, we recommend converting them to feet first for the most accurate calculation.
You can also use our Cubic Feet Calculator to calculate the volume instantly. Once you know your volume, the next question is what fits. Use our pallet calculator to find how many boxes and pallets fit in your trailer or container.
Multiply the length, width, and height in inches, then divide the result by 1,728. For example, a box measuring 24″ × 18″ × 12″ has a volume of 5,184 cubic inches. Divide by 1,728 to get 3 cubic feet.
A standard 40-foot shipping container holds approximately 2,390 cubic feet (67.7 cubic meters). The exact volume depends on the container type and how you stack your pallets.

CBM stands for “cubic meter,” the standard volume measurement in international shipping. One cubic meter equals 35.315 cubic feet. Freight forwarders use CBM to calculate shipping costs for ocean and air freight.
FedEx, UPS, and most carriers use dimensional weight (DIM weight) for pricing, which is calculated from your package’s cubic dimensions. DIM weight = (length × width × height) ÷ dimensional factor. For FedEx Ground, the dimensional factor is 139. Carriers charge by whichever is greater: actual weight or dimensional weight.
A standard 48″ × 40″ pallet with a 60″ stack height holds 66.7 cubic feet. The exact volume depends on your pallet size and stack height. Use our calculator to measure your specific configuration.
One cubic foot equals 0.02832 cubic meters. Cubic feet is the standard measurement in the US; cubic meters (CBM) is used in international shipping. To convert, multiply cubic feet by 0.02832.
Calculate the cubic feet for each box individually, then add them together. For example, if you have 10 boxes each measuring 2 cubic feet, your total freight volume is 20 cubic feet. This helps you compare LTL vs FTL shipping costs.
Yes. Calculate the cubic footage of your inventory to estimate storage costs. Most warehouses charge by pallet position or by cubic foot. Use the volume numbers to compare storage quotes and plan your inventory layout.
