What is the method of figuring how much wire you can fit in a electrical box?

For instance 12/2 wire or 12/3 wire in a single gang box or double gang and so on depending on the depth of the box. What computation is used?

I'm with you Roger! After while, you get to a point where it's best to direct to the sites instruction manual! :wink:
