Pallet Calculator
Plan a pallet from carton dimensions through loaded weight. ParcelCal compares normal, rotated, and simple mixed carton arrangements, then applies height and optional weight limits.

How this calculation works
The diagram is a planning estimate. Validate stability, compression strength, overhang, and facility rules. ParcelCal runs the calculation in your browser; no package or shipment information is uploaded.
FORMULA
Total cases = Best cases per layer (TI) × Allowed layers (HI)

Worked example
12 × 10 × 8 in cases on a 48 × 40 pallet
- 1.16 cases fit per layer
- 2.48 in available above a 6 in pallet allows 6 layers
- 3.16 × 6 = 96 cases
TI 16 × HI 6 gives 96 cases before any lower weight limit is applied.
