Getting the Hold Calculator
The Hold Calculator first needs to be downloaded on your computer. Download the newest version (1.4) here in XLS form, or for here in XLSX form. Do remember the location where you have put the file, once it's done, you simply need to double click on the file to launch the tool.

Using the Hold Calculator
Select the tab at the bottom (or top if your Excel is configured that way) for the type of hold you are wanting to calculate.

Once you've selected your hold type, enter the quantity of each commodity you plan on putting in the hold. Once all your commodity counts have been input, select the specific hold you are using from the drop down list at the bottom, and the calculator will automatically tell you how much space each commodity takes, and how much space you have left in your hold.
