What does this tool do?
Checked bag charges are usually levied per bag, per traveller and per direction, so a small fee multiplies quickly. This calculator totals the cost for the whole booking and shows the share per traveller.
The Formula
Total = Fee per bag × Bags × Travellers × Chargeable directionsFrequently Asked Questions
Is it cheaper to prepay a checked bag?
Usually yes. Many airlines charge less online in advance than at the airport counter. The saving is largest on low-cost carriers.
Do baggage fees apply per direction?
On most economy tickets, yes: each bag is charged on the outbound and the return separately. This calculator doubles the fee for a round trip unless you select one way.
