Methodology

How to Calculate Warehouse Space

The calculator above uses the Bay Module Method: the same formula logistics engineers use to size real facilities. Every output is derived from pallet count, rack height, aisle width, and a 15% buffer for non-storage zones.

Required Sq Ft = (Pallets ÷ Utilization%) ÷ Height Levels × Unit Bay Area × 1.15
Pallets Peak inventory pallet positions Utilization% Target fill rate. 85% is the industry standard Height Levels Rack tiers (3 to 5 for most operations) Unit Bay Area Sq ft per ground position, including aisle share 1.15 Buffer for docks, staging, offices, and fire clearance
