Linear Inches Calculator
Many airlines has 62 linear inches luggage limit, this Linear Inches Calculator helps you measure the total linear inches of luggage or packages.
Linear inches represent the sum of an object's length, width, and height. This measurement is often used by airlines to determine if a piece of luggage meets their size restrictions.Let’s say you have a suitcase with the following dimensions:
- Length: 26 inches
- Width: 18 inches
- Height: 10 inches
To calculate the linear inches, you would add these dimensions together:
26 + 18 + 10 = 54 linear inchesMany airlines have a limit of 62 linear inches for checked baggage. In this case, the suitcase would be within the acceptable range.

Linear Inches Formula
The Linear Inches Formula is straightforward:
Linear Inches = Length + Width + HeightSuppose you have a backpack with the following dimensions:
- Length: 20 inches
- Width: 13 inches
- Height: 9 inches
Applying the formula: Linear Inches = 20 + 13 + 9 = 42 linear inchesThis backpack would be well within most airlines’ carry-on size restrictions.
How to Figure 62 Linear Inches?
Imagine you’re shopping for a suitcase and want to maximize your space while staying within the 62 linear inch limit. You might choose a suitcase with these dimensions:
- Length: 28 inches
- Width: 20 inches
- Height: 14 inches
28 + 20 + 14 = 62 linear inchesThis configuration gives you a large suitcase that fully utilizes the allowed space. Remember, you can adjust these dimensions as long as their sum doesn’t exceed 62 inches.
