Accurately determine the optimal number of items per pallet and total pallets required for your inventory. Our free Pallet Calculator streamlines your packaging and shipping processes, helping you save on costs and maximize space efficiency for any size load.
Formula:
The Pallet Calculator determines the optimal number of items per layer, total items per pallet, and the total number of pallets needed based on item and pallet dimensions, and the total quantity of items to be shipped.
Variables:
- IL = Item Length
- IW = Item Width
- IH = Item Height
- PL = Pallet Length
- PW = Pallet Width
- PMH = Pallet Maximum Stack Height (available for items, excluding pallet deck height)
- TI = Total Items to Ship
Formulas:
Items Per Layer (Orientation 1)=floor(PL / IL) × floor(PW / IW)Items Per Layer (Orientation 2)=floor(PL / IW) × floor(PW / IL)Best Items Per Layer=max(Items Per Layer O1, Items Per Layer O2)Layers Per Pallet=floor(PMH / IH)Total Items Per Pallet=Best Items Per Layer × Layers Per PalletTotal Pallets Needed=ceil(TI / Total Items Per Pallet)Remaining Items=TI % Total Items Per Pallet
