Assumed storage price (USD / TB / month)

Example assumptions, not quoted vendor rates. Decimal TB. Copies are assumed full copies without compression or deduplication.

Each item contributes 20 points to an original checklist score. This is not a certification, audit or vendor trust score.

Formulas and limitations

Logical data at horizon = current TB × (1 + monthly growth ÷ 100)^months. Physical data = logical data × full copies. Monthly storage cost at horizon = physical TB × assumed USD per TB per month. This is the cost of the final month at the horizon, not cumulative spend.

Compute, queries, network egress, backups beyond the entered copies, licences, taxes, tiering, staffing and migration are excluded. Actual systems may use compression, incremental copies and different charging units. The tool does not connect to a real data estate or assess compliance.
