Box Fill Calculator

Calculate required box volume per NEC 314.16(B). Enter your conductors, devices, clamps, and grounding conductors — WireCoder totals the volume allowance and tells you if the box is big enough.

How it works

Each conductor counts by its AWG volume allowance (Table 314.16(B)). A device yoke counts as two of the largest conductor, clamps as one, and all grounds together as one of the largest ground.

Frequently asked questions

How is a device counted?

Each strap/yoke counts as twice the volume allowance of the largest conductor connected to it.

How are grounds counted?

All equipment grounding conductors together count as a single volume allowance of the largest ground.
