How to calculate pallet cube utilization

Pallet cube utilization measures what percentage of a pallet's available cubic volume is actually being used — a shipping and storage efficiency metric.

How the calculation works

Utilization = (Used cubic volume ÷ Available cubic volume) × 100.

Example

32 cubic feet used out of 40 cubic feet available: (32÷40)×100 = 80%.

Frequently asked questions

How is Result calculated?

Pro Tips for Pallet Cube Utilization

  1. Higher cube utilization generally reduces the number of pallets (and shipping cost) needed for a given amount of product.
  2. Product shape and stackability sometimes limit achievable utilization below 100%, even with careful packing — irregular shapes leave more unused space.

Common Pallet Cube Utilization Mistakes to Avoid

  • Expecting 100% cube utilization is realistically achievable for all product types, when irregular shapes and stacking constraints often leave some unused space.
