List the boxes, furniture and pallets you need to store and the calculator works out the unit size, the floor space in sq ft and m², and the monthly and total cost at your price per sq ft.
What you need to store
Volume is divided by a filled height of 8 ft, then 15% is added for aisles and shapes that do not stack. A pallet takes 13.33 sq ft. The monthly cost is your price per sq ft times the area of the recommended unit, or times the space needed when you store only pallets.
The item sizes are rough planning figures, and the calculator assumes no price. Enter the price per sq ft from a provider's quote, then check the real unit size and price on each listing.
Compare units and prices
Each provider lists its unit sizes with the price per month, so you can check the unit you need against a real price.
