Exact calculation

Uses the ocean rates you typed. Break-even density is 1000 kg/m³ when W and M rates are comparable.

How it works

Enter a per-CBM and/or per-kg rate. We show which basis costs more at your numbers.

Formula

pay max(CBM × rate/CBM, kg × rate/kg)

Worked example

At equal W and M rates, cargo denser than 1000 kg/m³ is billed on weight.
