This tool calculates the loan value percentage based on your input values to help you understand your financial options.
How to Use the Calculator:
To calculate the Volume, Net Volume and Usable Volume:
- Enter the length in meters in the “Length” field.
- Enter the width in meters in the “Width” field.
- Enter the height in millimeters in the “Height” field.
- Enter the packaging loss as a percentage in the “Packaging Loss” field.
- Enter the waste as a percentage in the “Waste” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the results.
How the Calculator Works:
The calculator computes the following values:
- Volume (m³): The total volume calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height (converted to meters).
- Net Volume (m³): The volume after accounting for packaging loss by multiplying the volume by (100% – Packaging Loss).
- Usable Volume (m³): The volume after accounting for both packaging loss and waste by multiplying the net volume by (100% – Waste).
Limitations:
The calculator does not account for irregular shapes or non-standard units. Please ensure all measurements are accurate and in the specified units (meters and millimeters). Only positive values are accepted for dimensions, and non-negative values for percentages.
