How to calculate volume

How to compute the volume of a parcel for the USPS volume surcharge:

To determine whether a parcel is more than 2 cubic feet in volume, meaning that the USPS volume surcharge will apply:

Measure the length, width and height in inches. If the parcel is not rectangular, measure each dimension where it is the largest. For a tube, use the diameter for both the width and the height.
Round off each measurement to the nearest inch. For example, if the measurement is at least 6" but less than 6 1/2", round down to 6". But if it is 6 1/2" up to 7", round up to 7".
Multiply the rounded length by the rounded width by the rounded height.
If the piece is not rectangular, multiply by 0.785.

The volume surcharge applies if the result is more than 3,456.
