when calculating box fill does each switch and receptable count as 2 wires or only the dimming switches and gfi receptables which are a lot bigger and broader and would require a lot more room inside the box .is there a chart for this or just the explation in the code book.

Each yoke counts as two allowances for the largest conductor connected to the device on that yoke. The exception is large devices (think range and dryer receptacles that need a two-gang box) that count at 2 yokes (four allowances).
