How do you calculate storage cost?

Storage rates depend on the following factors:

-where it's stored (self storage unit, on the property of your moving company, etc.)

-how long you're storing (some places provide discounts for longer storage times)

-the size unit you'll need

-level of security where your items are being stored

Like many services, it's difficult to determine storage cost without getting a quote directly from a storage service provider. The smallest monthly storage units tend to run no less than $35-$45 a month, which larger options running as much as $500 or more.
