Shipping Rate Calculator — Entered Quote Comparison

Normalize shipping quotes into an average cost per kilogram and per pound. Enter a total price and the weight basis used for each quote; kg and lb rows are converted consistently. This helps explain price-per-weight differences, but it does not retrieve a tariff or identify the best service.

How to use this tool

1. Collect prices for the shipments or alternatives you want to examine.
2. Enter Quote | Total price | Weight used | kg or lb, one quote per line.
3. Use the same actual-weight or confirmed billable-weight basis across the comparison.
4. Read each normalized rate and compare the services, inclusions and total prices separately.

Formula

Average cost per kg = quoted total / weight in kg; weight in kg = weight in lb × 0.45359237; average cost per lb = average cost per kg × 0.45359237

The international avoirdupois pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg. Every weight must be positive. The selected currency labels all prices without exchange conversion. Rates use the full entered values; monetary price cells round for display. Up to 100 quotes are supported.

Example

A quote of 50 for 10 kg averages 5 per kg. A second quote of 45 for the same 10 kg averages 4.5 per kg, equivalent to 2.041165665 per lb. The second average is lower for these supplied figures; whether the service terms are comparable still needs checking.
