Sheet Yield Calculator

How many pieces of one size can you cut from a sheet? Enter the part and the sheet, set your blade's kerf, and the calculator nests it with the same engine as the EZNESTING optimizer — including mixed layouts that turn some parts sideways to use the leftover strip.

Allow 90° rotation (untick to keep the part's length along the sheet's length, e.g. for grain)

3parts of 24" × 30" per 48" × 96" sheet · 47% yield

Rotation makes no difference for this size. Largest offcut: 23-7/8" × 30".

Kerf matters more than people expect: a 4×8 sheet is exactly 48" × 96", so sizes that divide it evenly (24", 12", 16", 48") lose a row or column to the blade. The worked answers below show where that happens and the size to cut instead.

Cabinet & furniture parts (4×8)

Carcass sides, shelves and drawer parts on a 48" × 96" sheet.

Squares (4×8)

Square blanks from 6" to a half sheet.

Rectangular panels (4×8)

Common panel sizes, from 18" × 24" up to 36" × 48".

Metric parts (2440 × 1220 mm)

Carcass and panel sizes on a standard metric board.

Counts assume a 1/8" (3 mm) kerf with rotation allowed and no edge trim. For a whole cut list with mixed sizes, use the nesting optimizer or the plywood cut list optimizer.
