Estimate what every unit could earn

Whether you're running an existing facility or weighing up a new site, the planning question is the same: what will each unit actually earn? Most operators answer it with a spreadsheet, some rough math, and a fair amount of guesswork. This calculator replaces that with a clear estimate built on the real inputs that drive self storage revenue: unit mix, rates and occupancy.

Getting it right

Three steps to an estimate you can trust

The calculator is only as good as what you put into it. These three steps get you a number worth planning around.

  1. Plug in real numbers

    Measure each unit type's square footage and check current rental rates. Pull occupancy over the past 6–12 months for an honest read on demand.

  2. Model a few scenarios

    Test different rates and unit mixes to see how each change moves your income. It's the fastest way to make storage unit investing predictable instead of a guess.

  3. Act on what you find

    Use the estimate to decide where to adjust rates, which units to reconfigure, or whether a new site pencils out.

FAQs

How accurate are the estimates?

As accurate as the numbers you put in. The model runs on the same inputs used to calculate net operating income, cash flow and annual expenses across the industry: unit mix, rates and occupancy. As a sense check, the average U.S. facility runs at roughly 92% occupancy and a 41% profit margin — use those as a benchmark against your own numbers, not a guarantee.

Do I have to enter every unit to get an estimate?

No. Start with your facility's location, average unit sizes and rates, and you'll get a useful directional estimate. Add unit-by-unit detail later for a more precise number.

How do I use this to actually improve my income, not just measure it?

Run a few rate scenarios through the calculator before you change anything live. You'll see the point where a rate increase adds revenue without pushing occupancy down — that balance is what actually grows income.

Do I need to be a Storeganise customer to use this?

No. The calculator is here to help you plan, whether or not you run your facility on Storeganise.

How is this different from just using a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet works if you rebuild the formulas correctly every time and remember to update your assumptions. This calculator runs the same revenue and expense logic in seconds, and it's easy to rerun whenever your rates, occupancy or unit mix change.

Can I use this to plan a brand new facility, not just an existing one?

Yes. Enter the unit mix, sizes and rates you're planning, and you'll get a projected income before you commit capital — a fast way to stress-test a new site against realistic occupancy and expense assumptions before you sign a lease.
