Calculating Data Storage

Data Storage Per Object Record

MOST objects take up 2kb of storage per record with the exception of the following objects:

1) Person Accounts - 4KB
2) Knowledge Articles - 4KB
3) Campaigns - 8KB
4) Asset - 0KB
5) Products - 0KB
6) Pricebooks - 0KB
7) Pricebook Entry - 0KB
8) All of the privacy and consent cloud objs - 0KB

So if you had 2,000,000 person accounts that would take up 8GB of data

Data Allocated to a Salesforce Org

Each org comes with a default of 10GB of storage space. It is then allotted additional storage space for each user and the amount differs based on their license type:

Internal Users (Sales & Service) - 120MB
Customer Community - 0MB
Customer Community Plus - 2MB
Customer Community Plus - 1MB Partner - 5MB
Partner Login - 1MB

Example Calculations

If you had 2 million opportunity records (2KB per Opp) that would take up 4,000,000KB or 4,000MB or 4GB.

If you had 600 internal users and 10,000 CC+ users you would end up with 72GB of data storage for the internal users (600 x 120MB = 72,000MB/1000 = 72GB) and you would end up with 20GB of storage for the CC+ users (2MB x 10,000 = 20,000MB/1000 = 20GB) for a total of 102GB of storage in your org (10GB + 72GB + 20GB = 102GB).
