4.0 kg over the free allowance
Many airlines charge a flat per-kilogram (or per-pound) rate for weight above the free checked-bag allowance; this multiplies the overage by that rate. Some airlines use step tiers instead — check your fare rules if the overage crosses a large threshold.

Frequently asked questions
Do all airlines charge a flat per-kilogram rate?+
No — many use step tiers (e.g., a flat fee for 1-5kg over, a higher flat fee for 5-10kg over) rather than a pure per-kilogram rate, so check your airline's exact fee table for large overages.
