Count floor positions, not all rack levels. Site-specific aisles, clearances, structural and safety requirements still need design.
BEHIND THE NUMBER
How the calculation works
Count floor positions, not every slot across multiple rack levels. Divide the total pallet footprint by the fraction of gross area assigned to that footprint. At 70%, the remaining 30% of gross area is an allowance for other uses. It is not the same as multiplying net area by 1.30.
Net footprint = floor positions x pallet length x width; gross area = net footprint / (storage share / 100)
When this calculation helps
Floor-space requirements depend on the entered pallet footprint, count, and allowance for usable space. Keep storage, staging, and travel needs distinct so the same area is not assigned to several purposes.
Check the interpretation
An area total does not prove an arrangement fits the building geometry. Columns, doors, fire access, equipment turning, and product separation can constrain usable space. This is a planning estimate, not a warehouse layout approval.
This is not a rack layout, engineering design, or safety approval. Pallet overhang, rack structure, clearances, equipment, fire protection, aisles, docks, and support areas require a site-specific design. Verify whether your entered allowance covers each required use.
Good to know
Should I enter all rack slots?
No. Enter equivalent pallet positions occupying the floor. Slots on additional vertical levels do not each consume another pallet footprint on the floor.
Does a 70% storage share mean a 30% markup on net area?
No. Net area is 70% of the gross total, so gross area equals net area divided by 0.70.
