Bin store dimensions
Enter the measurements above to calculate bin store dimensions.
How the calculation works
V12 calculation: storeWidth=binCount×binWidth+(binCount-1)×gapBetweenBins; minimumStoreDepth=binDepth; minimumStoreHeight=binHeight+lidClearance. This is the implementation specification for this calculator.
Worked example
Example: Bins = 3; Bin width = 50 cm; Bin depth = 45 cm; Bin height = 45 cm; Gap between bins = 5 cm; Lid opening clearance = 5 cm. Result: Minimum Store Height = 50 cm; Minimum Store Depth = 45 cm; Store Width = 160 cm.
Before you decide
Measure the actual item, opening or body dimension involved. This page calculates the stated geometry or quantity only; product-specific construction or installation details can still affect the final choice. For what bin store size do i need, the limiting result on this page is bin store dimensions.
Direct measurement/geometry calculation. No external reference is required for the arithmetic itself; the result is derived only from the user-entered measurements and the formula stored in calculationLogicJson.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Bin Store Size calculator tell me?
It returns bin store dimensions from the measurements entered on this page. The calculation is specific to bin store size, so the result should be compared with the exact product or specification you are considering.
Which measurements should I take for bin store size?
Measure bins, bin width, bin depth, bin height, gap between bins, lid opening clearance. Use clear, usable dimensions rather than nominal room or product labels.
Should I round the bin store dimensions?
Keep the calculated value for comparison, then choose a real product that meets or stays within the returned bin store dimensions while allowing for the clearances, tolerances or ratings shown by its manufacturer.
