User Guide
This tool will calculate the tare weight (TW) by subtracting the net weight (NW) from the gross weight (GW) reading you entered and convert any combination of weight (mass) units for each weight value.
Gross Weight (GW, Gross Wt.)
Enter the gross weight and select the associated gross weight (mass) units directly underneath. The gross weight is the total weight of an object including the contents and everything used to transport and contain the contents.
Net Weight (NW, Net Wt.)
Enter the net weight and select the associated net weight (mass) units directly underneath. The net weight is the weight contribution of just the contents, excluding anything used to transport or contain the contents.
Tare Weight (TW, Tare Wt.)
The tare weight is calculated by subtracting the net weight from the gross weight, and will appear once the required tare weight (mass) units are selected directly underneath. The tare weight is the weight contribution from packaging, vehicles, containers, etc. when empty, which should be excluded in order to determine the weight of the contents.
