We combine three ideas carriers use everywhere: billable weight (actual vs dimensional), lane-based base pricing (zones), and accessorial fees (residential, signature, oversize patterns). The goal is a practical planning number—not a label price.
DIM lb = ceil(L × W × H ÷ 139)Billable weight = max(actual weight rounded up, DIM lb) for standard parcels. Envelopes use a simplified document profile in this tool.
