# How Do I Estimate How Many Cartons Will Fit on a Pallet?

You can **estimate** how many cartons will fit on a pallet by dividing the CBM (cubic meters) of the shipment by 1.5. This is a **rough estimate** that may help you estimate storage charges or give you an idea of how many pallets you will be shipping if you [palletize at origin](https://www.flexport.com/help/368-palletizing-cargo-consideration/). The actual number of pallets will not be certain until the cartons are palletized.
