Measure first
Measure finished dimensions, actual stock, openings, and site constraints before ordering material.
Cabinet planning
Cabinet Cut List Calculator
Start a frameless cabinet cut list from the outside width, height, depth, material thickness, shelf count, and cabinet style. Use the result as a planning list before sending exact parts into a sheet optimizer.
How the estimate works
Use the number as a planning starting point.
Side panels use full height and depth. The top, bottom, and shelves fit between sides; the back is sized from the overall cabinet dimensions. The sheet estimate uses total panel area plus waste.
Check the result
This is a starter, frameless cabinet list. Toe kicks, face frames, door and drawer clearances, hardware, rabbets, dados, finished dimensions, and local installation conditions require project-specific confirmation.

Common Cabinet Cut List Calculator questions
Can I use this for face-frame cabinets?
Use it as a rough starting point only. Face frames, overlays, reveals, and rail/stile dimensions need their own design rules.
Does it optimize plywood sheets?
It estimates panel area. Open the Plywood Cut Calculator or CutList after you confirm the finished part dimensions.
