Enter how many empty pallets you have, their size and how high you stack them, and this calculator draws the stacks to scale and gives the square feet of floor they cover. It assumes stacks side by side with no aisle allowance.
Each pallet is taken as 6 in thick, so 10 high is about 5.0 ft.
20 stacks of 10, each 13.3 sq ft. Stacks side by side, no aisle allowance.
For context only: CBRE, Silicon Valley Industrial Figures Q3 2026 (published 12 October 2026) puts the average direct asking rent for Silicon Valley industrial space at $1.78 per sq ft per month, triple net, so this floor lists at roughly $475 a month. A market average, not our price and not your lease.
The request below carries the result above. Change anything before you send it.
Each pallet is taken as 6 inches thick, within the 5.5 to 6 inch range usual for a standard wood pallet, to give a stack height. A 48 by 40 covers 13.3 square feet.
The tool also shows one market figure for scale: CBRE, Silicon Valley Industrial Figures Q3 2026, published 12 October 2026, reports an average direct asking rent of $1.78 per square foot per month on a triple-net basis for Silicon Valley industrial space. That is a market average. It is not your rent and not a price for any pallet, so type your own rate into the rate field when you have it.
| Load | Stacks | Square feet | Floor at the CBRE average, per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 48 x 40, 8 high | 7 | 93 | $166 |
| 200 48 x 40, 10 high | 20 | 267 | $475 |
| 500 48 x 40, 10 high | 50 | 667 | $1,187 |
| 200 48 x 48, 10 high | 20 | 320 | $570 |
| 200 42 x 42, 10 high | 20 | 245 | $436 |
| 200 Euro, 10 high | 20 | 207 | $368 |
Euro pallets cover less floor than 48 by 40s, and square pallets more. The same count therefore takes different space by size.
Real floors need aisles and turning room. Racked stock sits on racks, which the tool does not model. Stacks are assumed all the same height, with the last one shorter. Stack height is also limited by safety rules and by the pallets' condition, and a stack of twenty is not advisable. The footprint guide gives the method, and the storage cost guide turns it into money.
