This calculator helps you quantify the benefits of different packing methods. You'll input the dimensions of your suitcase and the volume of your clothes when folded loosely. The calculator then estimates the space saved when using packing cubes versus rolling or flat-folding your clothes, showing you the percentage of space you can reclaim.

Maximizing suitcase space is the holy grail of travel. This calculator demonstrates the real, quantifiable benefits of using packing cubes and efficient packing techniques. It can help you decide if investing in packing cubes is worthwhile and shows you how a simple change in technique can help you fit more in your luggage or choose a smaller, lighter suitcase.

The result shows the percentage of space you could save with each packing method. A higher percentage indicates greater packing efficiency. For example, if packing cubes save you 30% more space, that might be the equivalent of an extra pair of shoes or several more outfits. Use this data to become a more strategic and efficient packer for your next trip.

• Choose packing cubes made from lightweight but durable material like silnylon.
• Assign different colored packing cubes to different family members or types of clothing to stay organized.
• Keep a spare, empty packing cube in your luggage for dirty laundry.
• Don't overfill your packing cubes, as this can put stress on the zippers.
• For wrinkle-prone items, consider using a folding board in combination with your packing cubes.
