Pallet Calculator
Estimate how many cartons fit on a pallet and how many pallets you need for a shipment. This is useful before preparing an ocean freight quote, warehouse plan or container loading plan.
Pallet Calculation Formula
Cartons per layer = floor(pallet length / carton length) x floor(pallet width / carton width)
Total cartons per pallet = cartons per layer x layers
Number of pallets = total cartons / cartons per pallet
Example
If a pallet is 120 cm x 100 cm and each carton is 40 cm x 30 cm, one layer can hold about 9 cartons depending on orientation. If the pallet has 5 layers, it can hold about 45 cartons.
Why Pallet Planning Matters
Pallet layout affects warehouse handling, trucking cost, container loading and cargo safety. For export shipments, confirm carton strength, pallet height, gross weight, fumigation rules and destination warehouse requirements before loading.
