Cases Per Pallet Calculator

Work out cases per pallet instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Cases Per Pallet Calculator

Pallet quantity is cases per layer times layers, where layers is the height allowance divided by case height, rounded down. Height limits come from the trailer or container interior, warehouse racking beam spacing and the compression strength of the bottom case.

Formula

Cases per pallet

Layers = floor(maximum load height / case height); cases = layers x cases per layer

Worked example

With the default values below, Cases Per Pallet Calculator returns Cases Per Pallet of 60. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Results

Cases Per Pallet: 60

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
Pallet load weight and height must respect racking capacity, forklift rating and transport axle limits. Unstable or overloaded pallets cause serious injuries.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What limits load height in practice?

Racking clear height including the pallet, container door height for ground-loading, and the bottom layer's compression strength. Whichever is lowest governs.

Should a partial top layer be shipped?

It undermines stability and stretch-wrap integrity. Better to change the case count per layer or accept a slightly lower pallet than to ship a broken top tier.
