Luggage Weight Calculator
Enter item weights and the airline limit to see total and how much you are over or under.
Will my bag be overweight?
Airline bag fees hinge on total mass versus the published limit. Add item or bag weights — cabin plus hold if you are combining on one scale reading — and compare to the allowance: anything above is overweight you may need to redistribute or pay for. Leave a buffer for scale differences at the desk and for jackets you might wear through security. Weigh shoes and dense toiletries — they surprise people more than soft clothes. Trip costing still sits in holiday budget; convert spending cash with currency budget.
Worked example
8 + 5 + 3 + 0 = 16 against a 23 limit → under by 7. If total were 25, overweight = 2.
Limits and assumptions
Simple sum vs one limit. Does not encode airline linear/size rules or piece concepts.
Frequently asked questions
kg or lb?
Follow the site mass unit (massLarge) — the same preference used across tools.
Cabin and hold together?
Use separate runs if each has its own limit; sum only when comparing one combined allowance.
Do scales round up?
Many desks round to the next unit — stay a little under the published number.
What about liquids?
Weight still counts; liquid volume rules are separate security constraints.
