About Storage Size Calculator (PVC sizing planner)

Sizing a PersistentVolumeClaim well avoids out-of-space incidents. The Storage Size Calculator projects current data by a monthly growth rate over a horizon, adds overhead, and rounds up to a whole Gi.

Enter current data size, growth percent, months and overhead percent. The recommended PVC size appears instantly.

Everything runs locally; nothing is uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it plan the size?
It projects current data growth over the horizon (data x (1 + growth%)^months), adds an overhead percentage, then rounds up to a whole Gi so the PVC request is safe.
Why round up?
PVCs are requested in whole units and you cannot easily shrink them later, so rounding up avoids running out of space.
What growth rate should I use?
Use your observed or expected monthly growth. Leave it at 0 for static data.
Does this connect to a cluster?
No. All math runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Can I copy the result?
Yes. Copy, download or print the plan.
