Calculate your storage space with our storage calculator

Want to calculate your storage space easily and accurately? Then you can use Loads' storage calculator. Instead of estimating how many square metres you need, enter the items you want to store. The storage calculator then automatically calculates how much space will fit and which storage unit is best for your situation.

First make an inventory of your belongings

Start by mapping out everything you want to store. Think not only about large items such as furniture and appliances, but also about moving boxes, loose items and seasonal items. Taking an inventory beforehand will give you a good overview of the quantity and type of things you want to store. This forms the basis for calculating the right storage space.

Self storage

Calculate how much storage space you need in these steps:

Measure dimensions: Measure the length, width, and height of each item or box. This helps you get an accurate picture of how much space each item takes up.
Calculate the volume: For each item, calculate the volume by multiplying the length, width, and height. For example, a box 1 metre long, 0.5 metre wide, and 0.5 metre high has a volume of 0.25 cubic metres.
Calculate total volume: Add up the volume of all your items to determine the total volume you need.
Consider extra walking space: Consider extra space for walking space, access to specific items, and any additions you want to store later.

This calculation gives you a clear picture of the storage space you need. This will help you make a good estimate so you can choose the right unit to suit your needs.
