How to use it

  1. Enter length, width, height and linear size limit.
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
  3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

Linear size = length + width + height. Inches = total ÷ 2.54. Volume in liters = length × width × height ÷ 1000.

Example

Inputs: Length = 75 cm, Width = 50 cm, Height = 30 cm, Linear size limit = 158 cm. Result: Linear size: 155 cm; In inches: 61 in; Volume: 112.5 L.

Limits and caveats

  • 158 cm is a common checked-bag limit but not universal, so check your airline.
  • Measure with wheels and handles, since airlines include them.
  • Cabin bags often have a limit for each dimension separately.

Questions about this tool

What does a 158 cm linear limit mean?

Length, width and height added together must not exceed 158 cm, about 62 inches.

Do I include the wheels?

Yes. Measure from the bottom of the wheels to the top of the folded handle.

How do I know the bag's volume?

It is shown in the results as the outer box volume; the inside holds a little less.
