Choose reliable inputs

Account for turnaround, maintenance and available inventory before accepting another booking. For this storage operator calculation, use rental contracts, asset records and maintenance logs and a consistent definition of one unit rental.

  • Facility overhead: include the portion belonging to this unit rental or reporting period, and record where the value came from.
  • Vacancy: include the portion belonging to this unit rental or reporting period, and record where the value came from.
  • Service costs: include the portion belonging to this unit rental or reporting period, and record where the value came from.

Use the same currency for every money input. Do not mix weekly costs with monthly revenue, or count the same expense in both an itemised cost and allocated overhead.

Is 100% physical occupancy the same as 100% paid occupancy?

Exclude complimentary and unpaid use from paid occupancy. Revenue is before facility and service costs.

Compare a different assumption

What if this input changes?

If available units rises by 10%, this example changes by 1,470 . This shows the effect of one change; it does not predict what will happen.

Open the calculator, save your baseline, then change the input supported by the least reliable estimate in your records. Compare both scenarios before committing to a price or capacity promise.
