Free calculators for the two questions that decide a warehouse requirement: how much a building actually holds, and what it really costs to run one yourself.
Pallet Position Calculator
Estimate how many pallet positions a warehouse actually holds, from clear height, rack type, and load size — and see what extra height is worth.
Open the calculator →3PL vs. Lease Cost Calculator
Compare the full annual cost of a 3PL against running your own warehouse, including the costs most comparisons leave out, and find the crossover volume.
Open the calculator →Inventory Tax Checker
Find out whether your state taxes business inventory, what the freeport and foreign-trade zone exemptions cover, and roughly what you would owe.

These are planning estimates, not engineering or financial advice. Both calculators show the assumptions behind the arithmetic so you can judge whether they hold for your operation.
