Subtract the pallet height before dividing. Rounding down prevents a fractional extra layer from exceeding the entered limit. Concept diagram; not to scale.

Count whole equal-height carton layers beneath a supplied total height limit.

Whole carton layers = floor((limit-pallet)/box)
Used total height = pallet+floor((limit-pallet)/box)*box cm
Unused height = limit-pallet-floor((limit-pallet)/box)*box cm

Worked example

  • Carton layer height (cm): 25
  • Pallet height (cm): 15
  • Maximum total height (cm): 180
  • Whole carton layers: 6
  • Used total height: 165 cm
  • Unused height: 15 cm
