Why use this tool?
Calculate signed baggage allowance remaining, including a negative result when packed weight is above the allowance. Positive is available allowance; negative is the amount above it. Use the same selected kg or lb basis for both values. Fees and carrier-specific rounding are not calculated.
How the calculation works
Signed allowance remaining = allowance − packed weight. Positive is available allowance; negative is the amount above it. Use the same selected kg or lb basis for both values. Fees and carrier-specific rounding are not calculated. Durations round to the nearest second; other quantities round to at most six decimals (percentages to two). Nonzero subprecision values are identified.
Example
Worked example: Baggage Allowance = 23; Packed Baggage Weight = 25; Weight Unit = "kg". Result: -2 kg.
Practical tip
A result of −2 kg means two kilograms over the entered allowance, not two kilograms still available.
