Formula Used

The FedEx shipping cost is calculated using a combination of factors including package weight, dimensions, service type, and distance. The exact formula used by FedEx is proprietary, but our calculator uses an approximation based on industry standards and FedEx's published rate structures.

Estimated Shipping Cost = (Base Rate + (Weight × Weight Factor) + (Volume × Volume Factor)) × Distance Factor × Service Factor

Where:

  • Base Rate = $5.00 (minimum charge)
  • Weight Factor = $0.50 per pound
  • Volume Factor = $0.01 per cubic inch
  • Distance Factor = 1.0 to 1.5 based on ZIP code distance
  • Service Factor = 1.0 to 2.0 based on selected service

Worked Example

Let's calculate the shipping cost for a 10-pound package with dimensions 12" × 10" × 8" using FedEx Ground service between ZIP codes 10001 (New York) and 90001 (Los Angeles).

Volume = 12 × 10 × 8 = 960 cubic inches Estimated Shipping Cost = ($5.00 + (10 × $0.50) + (960 × $0.01)) × 1.2 × 1.0 = ($5.00 + $5.00 + $9.60) × 1.2 = $19.60 × 1.2 = $23.52

The estimated shipping cost for this package would be approximately $23.52.
