About this calculator

3PL warehouse quotes are rarely comparable as they stand. One warehouse charges per pallet per day, another per pallet per month, some rent per m² of floor, and general cargo warehouses often use per m³. On top of storage come handling in (unloading, checking, put-away) and handling out (picking, loading), a monthly admin or WMS fee, value-added services such as labelling and stretch wrap, and a minimum charge when your volume is small.

This calculator puts all of those parts into one calculation. Choose the rate basis, enter the average quantity stored (pallets, m² or m³), the storage time in days and the rate. Monthly bases are prorated per 30 days; daily bases are counted per day. Add the units in and out with their handling rates, the monthly admin fee and any VAS cost. When storage falls below the minimum, the calculator uses the minimum and flags it.

The result is the total for the period, a breakdown per component, and the cost per stored unit and per unit per month, the right figures for comparing two quotes on different bases. If you rent by m² but think in pallets, first work out how many pallets fit per m² with the warehouse capacity calculator, then compare per pallet.

Worked example

120 pallets stored for 30 days at Rp2,500 per pallet-day, handling in and out at Rp15,000 per pallet each for 120 pallets, admin Rp250,000 per month:

  • Storage: 120 × 30 × 2,500 = Rp9,000,000
  • Handling: 120 × 15,000 × 2 = Rp3,600,000
  • Admin: Rp250,000
  • Total: Rp12,850,000, or Rp107,083 per pallet for 30 days

Without handling, the rate equals Rp75,000 per pallet-month; handling lifts the effective cost by more than 40%.

How to use it

  1. Choose the rate basis

    Pick per pallet-day, pallet-month, m²-month or m³-month to match the warehouse's quote.

  2. Enter storage and rate

    Enter the average quantity stored, storage days, the rate and any minimum charge.

  3. Add handling and other costs

    Fill in units in and out with their handling rates, the monthly admin fee and value-added services.

  4. Compare quotes

    Read the total, the breakdown and the cost per unit per month; repeat with another basis to compare warehouses.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compare daily and monthly rates?
Multiply the daily rate by 30 for the monthly equivalent. Example: Rp2,500 per pallet-day equals Rp75,000 per pallet-month before handling. The calculator shows the cost per unit per month so the comparison is immediate.
What are handling in and handling out?
Handling in is the cost of receiving goods: unloading from the truck or container, counting and putting away. Handling out is picking, packing and loading onto the vehicle. Both are usually charged per pallet, per carton or per tonne.
When does the minimum charge apply?
When the calculated storage is below the warehouse monthly minimum. Example: 2 pallets × 10 days at Rp90,000 per pallet-month is only Rp60,000, so the Rp500,000 minimum is charged.
Should the pallet count be an average?
Yes, for an estimate. Warehouses usually bill on daily stock or the period's peak stock, so for fluctuating stock use the daily average, or work week by week and add up.
Is VAT included?
No. Warehouse services in Indonesia are generally subject to VAT. Add VAT under the current rules when you compare with tax-inclusive prices.
