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: Warehouse Capacity
Calculate how many pallet positions a warehouse holds from clear height, square footage, and rack type. Planning estimates, not engineered layouts.
Open the calculator →3PL vs Lease Calculator: Compare Full Costs and Find Crossover Volume
Calculate whether a 3PL or your own warehouse lease costs less. Compare full annual costs including rent, NNN, labor, equipment, WMS, and find the volume where leasing wins.
Open the calculator →NNN Lease Calculator: Pro-Rata and Occupancy Cost
A NNN (triple net) lease calculator: pro-rata share, CAM, taxes, insurance, and occupancy cost from your suite, building and expense figures. No market rates.

Six questions to rank co-warehousing, on-demand capacity, 3PL, small-bay and a full lease against your volume, horizon and US credit position.

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