Self Storage Association (SSA) Almanac — annual industry data on per-sqft rates
Self-Storage Revenue Per Square Foot (RevPAF) Calculator
Compute Revenue Per Available Square Foot — the Self Storage Association (SSA) Almanac and Inside Self-Storage trade-journal industry-standard productivity metric — for a self-storage facility. Takes a unit-by-unit-size breakdown (5x5, 5x10, 10x10, 10x15, 10x20, 10x30), per-sqft monthly rates by tier, a climate-controlled premium percentage and share-of-total-sqft, and a blended occupancy rate. Reports total rentable square footage, monthly revenue, RevPAF, blended per-occupied-sqft rate, and a stabilized-occupancy projection — the apples-to-apples productivity comparison used by operators, brokers, and the public REIT same-store reporting.

Self-Storage Auction Recovery Calculator
Compute the operator's net recovery from a delinquent-tenant lien-sale auction under the state Self-Service Storage Facility Acts (Florida § 83.806, California B&P § 21700, Texas Property Code Chapter 59, and the rest of the state-by-state framework based on the SSA model statute). Takes past-due rent, contractual late fees, monthly rent, auction gross proceeds, lien filing fees, advertising cost, and auctioneer commission rate. Outputs the statutory-capped late fees (Florida-style: greater of $20 or 20% of monthly rent), total claim, net auction proceeds, net recovery, excess proceeds owed to the tenant, percent of past-due collected, and recovery status (fully-covered, partial-recovery, or excess-proceeds-owed).

Self-Storage Acquisition Cap Rate Calculator
Underwrite a self-storage facility acquisition on the cap-rate framework used by Marcus & Millichap, Cushman & Wakefield, and the institutional self-storage REITs. Takes gross potential revenue, the SSA-Almanac expense ratio (industry typical 30-40% of revenue), purchase price, in-place occupancy, market / pro-forma occupancy, total rentable sqft, and the operator's hurdle return. Computes effective revenue and NOI at both in-place and pro-forma occupancy, the in-place and stabilized cap rates, per-sqft acquisition cost, the breakeven occupancy at which NOI covers the hurdle return, and the operator's margin of safety. Tier-classifies the deal as primary-institutional, secondary, tertiary, lease-up, or distressed against current 2026 cap-rate benchmarks.
