No hidden assumptions. Inputs, units and the working stay visible so you can check the calculation.

Paper size Paper grammage (GSM) GSM means grams per square metre.Sheets per pack / job unit Whole sheets only.Number of packs / units Multiply the entered sheet count across a larger job.Packaging per pack (g) Optional wrapper, sleeve or box mass per pack.

Calculated result

2.495 kg total

4.99 g per sheet

2.495 kg per 500-sheet pack

2.495 kg per 500-sheet ream

2.495 kg paper only

5.5 lb packed total

Sheet area: 0.06237 m²

1. Sheet dimensions = 210 mm × 297 mm = 0.06237 m².
2. Per-sheet mass = 0.06237 m² × 80 g/m² = 4.99 g.
3. Paper mass = 4.99 g × 500 sheets × 1 pack = 2,494.8 g.
4. Packaging = 0 g, so packed mass equals paper mass.
5. Final = 2,494.8 g = 2.495 kg = 5.5 lb.

The result is a theoretical mass from entered GSM and dimensions. Moisture, coatings, ink/toner, mill tolerances and real packaging can change measured shipping weight.
