The cupboardsTool 02 / Storage

Storage Bin Layout

Count axis-aligned identical bins on a rectangular floor.

Your scenario

Sample values explain the method; they are not recommendations. Replace them, then calculate.

What this tool helps you organize

Count axis-aligned identical bins on a rectangular floor. It is one defined worksheet, not a complete assessment of your circumstances.

No mixed-orientation packing optimization, wheel-arch allowance or securement assessment.

Method and calculation rules

Count = floor(floor length/bin length) × floor(floor width/bin width). Repeat with bin dimensions swapped.

Display values are rounded for readability. The calculation uses the entered numbers before display rounding. Whole-unit outputs use the rounding rule stated in the method.

Know your inputs

  • Floor length (cm) — Accepted range: 0.01 to 1000000.
  • Floor width (cm) — Accepted range: 0.01 to 1000000.
  • Bin length (cm) — Accepted range: 0.01 to 1000000.
  • Bin width (cm) — Accepted range: 0.01 to 1000000.

A worked example

Illustrative inputs: Floor length (cm): 110; Floor width (cm): 95; Bin length (cm): 40; Bin width (cm): 30.

Bins in entered orientation: 6

Bins rotated 90 degrees: 6

Floor area: 1.05 m²

These sample figures illustrate the formula, not a recommended target or a prediction.

How to use the working copy

Define a single scenario, check the units and replace each sample value that does not match it. Calculate and read all three result components, not just the most favorable number.

Change one assumption to compare scenarios. An edited field makes the previous answer stale; recalculate before downloading or printing. Reset sample clears the open result and restores the example entries.

What the answer cannot establish

No mixed-orientation packing optimization, wheel-arch allowance or securement assessment.

The tool does not verify the accuracy, completeness or current validity of your inputs. Use authoritative current information and qualified judgement when the decision requires them.

Questions about this worksheet

Are the starting values a suggested target?

No. They show how the arithmetic behaves. Use your own checked values and do not infer a recommendation.

Why is my previous result marked stale?

Changing an input means the displayed answer no longer describes the current fields. Recalculate to refresh it.

Can I share an export?

Review the entries and limitations first. A downloaded file is a working copy, not an independently verified report.

Your entries and privacy

The bundled calculation runs in this open browser page. Inputs are not automatically saved as a server-side calculation history. Browser refresh or navigation may clear them.
