Estimate how many boxes fit on a pallet, including boxes per layer, stacking layers, total boxes, pallet utilization and the best rotated orientation.
Standard or custom pallet size
Use your warehouse, carrier or retailer height limit.
This pallet calculator estimates how many identical boxes fit on a pallet by checking the number of boxes across the pallet length and width, then multiplying by the number of stackable layers based on maximum height.
It checks both normal and rotated box orientation, then chooses the layout that fits the most boxes per layer. Real palletizing may still require weight, stability and damage checks.
48 × 40 inch GMA pallets are common in U.S. distribution.
Overhang can damage cartons and reduce load stability.
Boxes may crush even when the geometry says more layers fit.
After pallet fit, check how many pallets fit in a container.
It depends on pallet size, box dimensions, maximum pallet height and whether boxes can be rotated or stacked safely.
A common U.S. standard pallet is 48 inches by 40 inches. Other industries may use different pallet sizes.
No. This calculator estimates fit only. Weight and load stability must be checked separately.
Rotating the box can change how many cartons fit across the pallet length and width, improving boxes per layer.
