# How Do I Calculate Log Storage Size?

For every 1 GB of data storage in [Retrace](https://stackify.com/) for Errors and Logs, you can send approximately 2-3 million log messages, or roughly 500 K to 1 million errors. The exact number of logs per 1 GB of data depends on factors such as how much text each log message includes, how large the stack trace is in your exception, and whether or not it's a web request that we augment with contextual request data. But, this should serve as a rough estimate of what you can expect when using Errors and Logs within Retrace.
