1. What is Length + Girth?

The Length + Girth measurement is used by carriers like UPS and FedEx to determine dimensional weight and size restrictions for packages. It helps classify whether a package is oversized or not.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard formula:

\[ \text{Total} = \text{Length} + 2 \times (\text{Width} + \text{Height}) \]

Where:

Length — Longest dimension of the package
Width — Second longest dimension
Height — Shortest dimension

Explanation: The girth is calculated by adding the width and height and multiplying by 2, then adding the length.

Details: Carriers have maximum limits for length + girth (typically 130-165 inches). Packages exceeding these limits may incur additional fees or be refused.

Tips: Measure your package in inches at its longest points. Enter all three dimensions to calculate the total length + girth measurement.
