Use this logistics calculation for a transparent shipment, inventory, warehouse, customs, packaging, carrier, or service-level estimate when the governing units and business rules are explicit.

Deck length (cm)

Pallet deck length in centimetres.

Deck width (cm)

Pallet deck width in centimetres.

Stack height (cm)

Usable stacking height above the deck in centimetres.

Carton length (cm)

Carton length in centimetres.

Carton width (cm)

Carton width in centimetres.

Carton height (cm)

Carton height in centimetres.

Compute pallet TI (whole cartons per layer in the better of two grid orientations) and HI (layers under a usable stack height) with no overhang. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

TI

TI: whole cartons per layer.

HI

HI: number of layers that fit the stack height.

Total

Total cartons on the pallet (TI times HI).

Orientation

Grid orientation used for the best layer count.

• Carrier tariffs, customs rules, dangerous-goods requirements, hours-of-service rules, surcharges, port terms, dimensional divisors, and service definitions vary by jurisdiction, contract, date, mode, and commodity. A calculation is not a booking, classification, or compliance determination.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Verify current carrier and authority documents, retain shipment dimensions and timestamps, test boundary cases, and reconcile estimates against invoices and operational scans.

• Pallets per Container Size Lookup

  Fit whole pallets onto the container floor with a straight grid in the better of two orientations (no interlocking) and scale by stackable layers.

• TI-HI Pattern Stability Checker

  Heuristic column-stack review: flag pallet patterns whose built height divided by the smallest carton footprint side exceeds an adjustable aspect-ratio threshold (default 2).

• Pallet Load Height with Base Total

  Add the stacked carton layers to the pallet base height to get the total shipping height of the unit load.
