Because pails come in quite a variety of sizes there is no single answer to that question. 5 gallon plastic pails are very common and might be considered the "standard" size. 4 and 5 quart galvanized pails both seem to be very common - which means that there would be either 1 or 1.25 gallons in one of them. I believe the 5 quart is a bit more common than the 4 quart because it can hold a full gallon and still have some room at the top so that when a gallon of liquid (like milk) is carried in it, it doesn't slop over the sides as easily. Mop (utility) buckets are often referred to as pails and come in a variety of sizes ranging from about 2 gallons to about 5 gallons.
