What Is This Calculator?
A shipping cost calculator estimates delivery costs based on package weight and shipping method. Accurate shipping estimates are crucial for e-commerce profitability — unexpected shipping costs are the top reason for cart abandonment.
How to Calculate
To estimate shipping cost: 1) Determine package weight. 2) Enter your carrier's base rate. 3) Enter the per-pound surcharge. 4) The calculator adds base rate plus weight-based charge. Actual rates vary by carrier, zone, and service level.
Examples
Example: A 5 lb package with $5.99 base rate and $0.50/lb. Shipping = $5.99 + (5 × $0.50) = $8.49.
