How to use this tool

  1. Enter books in measured sample, combined sample width, books to store, available shelves, usable shelf width, and desired unused shelf fraction in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate and use each labeled result for bookshelf transfer capacity. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

Try this example

{
  "sampleBooks": 20,
  "sampleWidth": 52,
  "books": 180,
  "shelves": 6,
  "width": 90,
  "reserve": 10
}

Accuracy and scope

Use a representative sample; book height, load-bearing capacity and oversize volumes require separate checks.
