🎒 MOLLE Capacity Planner
Enter the rows and columns of webbing on your carrier, vest, or pack to see the attachment points and roughly how many small pouches will fit — so you can plan a layout before you mount it.

What is a MOLLE Capacity Planner?
It turns your webbing grid into a capacity estimate. Count the rows and columns of MOLLE on a piece of gear and this tool works out the total attachment points and about how many standard small pouches will fit, so you can plan a loadout instead of guessing at the store.
Use it to compare carriers and packs, to lay out where magazines, medical, and utility pouches will go, or to check a rig has room for everything you carry. The pouch estimate assumes a typical small pouch — larger pouches take more space.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) is the grid of 1-inch nylon webbing rows stitched across plate carriers, vests, packs, and belts. Compatible pouches weave through the webbing and lock in place, so you can build and rearrange your loadout without tools.
How do I count MOLLE rows and columns?
Columns are the vertical channels — count how many pouch attachment straps can sit side by side across the field. Rows are the horizontal webbing strips stacked top to bottom. A typical carrier front might be around 6 rows tall and 8–9 columns wide.
How many pouches will fit?
As a rule of thumb a small pouch takes about 3 columns of width and 2 rows of height, so this planner estimates capacity as (columns ÷ 3) × (rows ÷ 2). Larger admin, magazine, or hydration pouches take proportionally more, so treat the number as a planning estimate rather than a hard limit.
Can I overload a MOLLE field?
Physically you can fill every channel, but a smart layout matters more than raw capacity. Keep frequently used pouches within easy reach, balance weight left to right, and avoid stacking so much that it snags or throws off your center of gravity. Plan the layout before mounting everything.
