I'd say above 30 litres:

Obligatory: I had trouble getting my helmet in a cheap box1 even though it was meant to be big one2 but now I've spent some money on a smaller box my helmet fits nice and snug3 Smile

Translation: cheap eBay 35L tat no good, Givi 33L perfect.

Depends on the helmet!

Arai's are quite round for example, so I struggle more with my current lid than any of my previous ones.

Also bigger sizes have bigger shells. If you're a medium or small you may well get away with a smaller box than my XL helmet goes into.

Yeah, this, and the topbox shape.
My own topbox (an OEM BMW one) is 30 litres and takes my hat OK; there's enough space inside it to make me think there's be enough room for any standard helmet
