Strap Cutting Calculator

Use this calculator to minimize material waste when cutting straps of specific lengths.

Input the lengths of straps you need along with the length of material you have. The calculator outputs which strap lengths should be cut from which material length.

For example, I have starting material of one 12-inch and two 60-inch long straps. I want to end up with strap lengths of: one 42-inch, one 36-inch, two 16-inch, and three 6-inch long straps. Where should I make my cuts to minimize material waste?
