Calculator Tool
How to Use
- Pick the storage box capacity you plan to use: 30 L (small), 50 L (medium), 80 L (large), or 120 L (jumbo).
- Enter how many clothes, books, pairs of shoes, and other small items you want to store.
- Click the "Calculate" button. The estimated total volume and number of boxes needed appear instantly.
- Repeat with different box sizes to compare which option is the most efficient.
Tips for Choosing Storage Boxes
- The calculation uses average volume assumptions: 1.5 L per garment, 1 L per book, 3 L per pair of shoes, and 0.5 L per small item.
- Results already account for 75% packing efficiency, since there is always empty space between items.
- A 50 L box is the most versatile for clothing; a 120 L jumbo box suits comforters and seasonal items but gets heavy when full.
- Use vacuum bags for bulky clothing so you can fit more per box.
- Choose clear boxes or add labels so you can find things without unpacking everything.
