About Pallet Calculator
Enter the pallet footprint (48×40 GMA preset included), the maximum stack height, and your box dimensions. The calculator tries both 90° orientations of the box against the pallet, keeps the better layer count, then stacks layers to the height limit — reporting boxes per layer, layers, total boxes, and how much of the stack volume the boxes actually use.
Common uses
- Estimate cartons per pallet for freight quotes
- Choose a carton size that palletizes without wasted air
- Plan warehouse space from boxes-per-pallet counts
Example
Input
48×40 pallet, 48″ height, 12×10×8 boxes
Output
16 per layer × 6 layers = 96 boxes (100% utilization)
Limitations
- Assumes one orientation per pallet in whole rows — pinwheel patterns, overhang allowances, and weight limits at your facility can change the real count.
