Methodology

How this calculator works

Creates a compound-growth space forecast and identifies the additional area implied by the forecast.

Future space demand = current space × (1 + annual growth) ^ years.

Use the result

Turn the number into a decision

Space demand rarely grows exactly with revenue; model inventory turns, order profile, storage system, and process productivity separately where possible.

Use this result when facility, supply-chain, and engineering teams are comparing layouts, growth plans, expansion, or relocation options.

Run at least three scenarios—conservative, expected, and upside—so one optimistic assumption does not drive the project.
