Free Pallet Calculator — Boxes Per Pallet, Instantly
Shipux's pallet load calculator works out exactly how many boxes or cartons fit on a pallet, how high they stack, the total weight, and how well you use the pallet footprint — optimized automatically across every carton orientation.
How the pallet calculator works
Enter your carton length, width, height and weight, choose a pallet (GMA 48×40, Euro 1200×800, industrial, half or custom), and set your maximum load height and weight. The calculator tests all three ways each box can sit and picks the arrangement that fits the most cartons per layer and per pallet, then shows a 3D visualization you can rotate, print, or download as a branded PDF report.
Plan smarter shipments and cut freight costs
Knowing your exact boxes-per-pallet count before you ship helps you buy the right amount of packaging, quote LTL and FTL freight accurately, avoid wasted pallet space, and prevent overweight or over-height loads. Better cube utilization means fewer pallets, lower shipping costs, and less damage in transit.
Standard pallet sizes supported
The calculator includes the most common pallet dimensions used in North America, Europe, and Australia: the GMA / North American pallet (48" × 40", 1219 × 1016 mm), the Euro EPAL pallet (1200 × 800 mm), the industrial block pallet (1200 × 1000 mm), the half or display pallet (800 × 600 mm), the Australian standard pallet (1165 × 1165 mm), plus a custom option for any size you enter. You can also allow overhang to model loads that extend slightly beyond the pallet edge.
Frequently asked questions
How many boxes fit on a pallet?
It depends on your box and pallet dimensions. A standard 48×40 inch pallet holds the most boxes when carton footprints divide evenly into 48×40. Enter your exact carton size above and the calculator instantly returns the optimal boxes per layer, number of layers, and total boxes per pallet.
What is the standard pallet size?
In the US the standard GMA pallet is 48 × 40 inches (1219 × 1016 mm). In Europe the standard Euro (EPAL) pallet is 1200 × 800 mm. This tool supports both plus industrial, half, Australian, and custom pallets.
How do I calculate boxes per layer?
Divide the usable pallet length and width by your box length and width, in each rotation, then multiply the two whole-number results. The calculator does this for every orientation automatically and shows the best fit.
Can I print or download a pallet report?
Yes. Click Print report or Download PDF to get a branded Shipux report that includes the 3D pallet image, a full load summary, and your results — ready to share with your warehouse or carrier.
Is the Shipux pallet calculator free?
Yes, the pallet load calculator is completely free to use with no sign-up required. Enter your dimensions and get instant results in inches or millimetres, pounds or kilograms.
Does it account for weight and stack height limits?
Yes. Set your maximum load height and maximum pallet weight, and the calculator caps the number of layers so your stack stays within both limits.
