Baggage Weight Calculator

Check how much luggage you can still pack: enter the airline allowance and your current packed weight. See kg and lb both ways.

About this tool

Packing for a flight? Enter the airline allowance and your current packed weight to see exactly how many kilograms you can still add — in kg and pounds.

Airport scales rarely forgive a rounded estimate: half a kilo over can cost $50-100. Weigh at home with this number in mind and you will never do the "repacking limbo" at the counter again.

FAQ

What are typical baggage allowances?

Economy checked bags usually allow 23 kg (50 lb); carry-ons about 7-10 kg. Low-cost airlines often sell 15 kg or 20 kg on top of a basic fare.

Can I pay at the airport if overweight?

Yes, but excess fees are usually much higher at the airport than when prepaid online.

How accurate is the 2.2 lb per kg rule?

1 kg = 2.20462 lb. Use the calculator — rounding 50 lb/23 kg is fine for packing but not for a scale.
