Formula Used

The calculator uses FedEx's published rate tables to estimate shipping costs. The exact formula varies based on:

Package dimensions and weight

Estimated Shipping Cost = Base Rate + Dimensional Weight Surcharge + Fuel Surcharge + Other Applicable Fees

For precise calculations, FedEx uses a combination of actual weight and dimensional weight, with the higher value determining the chargeable weight.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Standard Package

For a 12" x 10" x 8" package weighing 10 lbs from New York (10001) to Los Angeles (90001) using FedEx Ground:

Dimensional weight: 1.56 cubic feet × 100 = 156 lbs
Chargeable weight: max(10 lbs, 156 lbs) = 156 lbs
Base rate: $15.95 for first 156 lbs
Fuel surcharge: 10% of $15.95 = $1.60
Total estimated cost: $15.95 + $1.60 = $17.55

Example 2: Oversized Package

For a 24" x 24" x 24" package weighing 50 lbs from Chicago (60601) to Houston (77001) using FedEx Home Delivery:

Dimensional weight: 13.82 cubic feet × 100 = 1,382 lbs
Chargeable weight: max(50 lbs, 1,382 lbs) = 1,382 lbs
Base rate: $1,382 × $0.03 = $41.46
Fuel surcharge: 10% of $41.46 = $4.15
Oversize surcharge: $100
Total estimated cost: $41.46 + $4.15 + $100 = $145.61
