Fixings by Spacing Calculator
Convert one continuous run and your spacing into fixing counts, whole packs and cost.
For one continuous run. Length and spacing: 0.000001–10⁶ m; pack size: integer 1–10⁹; price: 0–10⁹. Round length/spacing up, then add one if both ends are included (e=1; otherwise e=0). Pack count rounds up. This does not choose spacing or fixing type.
N = ceil(L / s) + e; B = ceil(N / p); C = B × P; R = B × p − N
Inputs stay in this browser. Values shown use at most 6 decimal places; money uses 2, in the currency you entered. Counts round upward.
