Pallet Storage vs. a Warehouse Lease: The $18/Month Math

Compare paying per pallet with leasing warehouse space. A simple cost breakdown at $18 per pallet per month for 10, 50, and 150 pallets.

By JA Transportation & Warehousing ·

If your goods are on pallets, you don't have to rent a whole warehouse to store them. Paying per pallet means your cost goes up and down with your inventory — not with square footage you may never fill.

The math at $18 per pallet per month

  • 10 pallets: $189.90 per month
  • 25 pallets: $474.75 per month
  • 50 pallets: $949.50 per month
  • 100 pallets: $1,899.00 per month
  • 150 pallets: $2,848.50 per month

These are storage-only figures. Handling, such as receiving or wrapping, and any taxes are quoted separately. Storage is not prorated — each pallet is billed for the month. Try different numbers in our storage calculator.

What a lease really costs

A lease usually comes with a fixed term, a deposit, utilities, insurance, equipment, and staff to run it. For a business with steady, high volume, that can make sense. For overflow, seasonal inventory, or a growing business, it often means paying for empty space.

Who per-pallet storage fits best

  • E-commerce and retail brands holding overflow stock.
  • Importers waiting to distribute a container.
  • Businesses between leases or moving locations.
  • Companies with seasonal peaks.
