The maths behind it

This tool uses Total = (items × weight each) + padding allowance + empty box weight, compared against the carrier’s weight limit. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.

Weigh the packed box if you can — packaging is consistently heavier than people estimate. Crossing a carrier weight band by fifty grams costs the same as crossing it by five kilograms, which is what the last row is for.
