Self-Storage Savings Calculator

How are my self-storage savings calculated?

Staffing savings = facilities × staffed hours per week × 52 × reducible share × loaded hourly cost. Support time savings = facilities × tickets per month × 12 × minutes per ticket ÷ 60 × eliminated share × the same hourly cost. Add facilities × annual keypad maintenance to estimate portfolio savings; divide by facilities for savings per facility.

Are the default assumptions guaranteed savings?

No. The defaults are illustrative, editable examples—not benchmarks or guaranteed results. The 50% staffing reduction and 90% ticket reduction are assumptions you can change. Use average operating inputs per facility; the model applies them to every facility in your portfolio. Remote management may reduce gate and office presence, but it does not remove all on-site work.

How do I avoid counting staff time twice?

Enter support tickets for forgotten codes, lockouts, and resets. Exclude support time already included in your on-site staffing reduction: the model adds staffing and ticket time savings separately. Both use your loaded hourly staffing cost. The value of time saved can represent released staff capacity rather than a reduction in actual payroll.

Does this calculate net ROI or include Gatewise fees?

This estimates gross annual operating savings, not net ROI, an ROI percentage, or a payback period. Gatewise subscription and implementation costs are excluded. Compare your estimated savings with a tailored Gatewise quote before making a purchasing decision.

What does the keypad maintenance estimate assume?

The model assumes all entered annual keypad maintenance costs are eliminated and multiplies that amount by your number of facilities. Enter only maintenance costs you expect to avoid. The model uses 52 weeks and 12 months per year, and rounds results only for display.
