Refrigerator Size Calculator in Encinitas, CA
Find the right refrigerator capacity in cubic feet for your household, and check that it fits your space.
Sizing Rule of Thumb
Plan on about 4–6 cubic feet of fresh-food space per adult, plus 2–3 cubic feet of freezer space per person. Add more if you buy in bulk or cook most meals at home.
| Household | Typical total capacity |
|---|---|
| 1–2 people | 12–18 cu ft |
| 3–4 people | 19–24 cu ft |
| 5+ people | 25 cu ft and up |
Leave Room to Breathe
Leave about 1 inch at the top and back and 1/8 inch on the sides (check your model's manual), and make sure the doors can open fully past walls and counters. A cramped refrigerator runs hotter and wears out sooner.
