Sometimes we might need to keep track of space utilized by each table in our database. Specially in case if application database grew unexpectedly over course of development and testing.
We want to know the space used of each table without using Management Studio's table properties.
Here is your query. Just replace msdb with your DatabaseName
SELECT sc.name + '.' + t.NAME AS TableName,
p.[Rows],
( SUM(a.total_pages) * 8 ) / 1024 AS TotalReservedSpaceMB, -- Number of total pages * 8KB size of each page in SQL Server
( SUM(a.used_pages) * 8 ) / 1024 AS UsedDataSpaceMB,
( SUM(a.data_pages) * 8 ) / 1024 AS FreeUnusedSpaceMB
FROM msdb.sys.tables t
INNER JOIN msdb.sys.schemas sc ON sc.schema_id = t.schema_id
INNER JOIN msdb.sys.indexes i ON t.OBJECT_ID = i.object_id
INNER JOIN msdb.sys.partitions p ON i.object_id = p.OBJECT_ID
AND i.index_id = p.index_id
INNER JOIN msdb.sys.allocation_units a ON p.partition_id = a.container_id
WHERE t.type_desc = 'USER_TABLE'
AND i.index_id <= 1 --- Heap\ CLUSTERED
--AND t.NAME='MYTableName' -- Replace with valid table name
GROUP BY sc.name + '.' + t.NAME,
i.[object_id],i.index_id, i.name, p.[Rows]
ORDER BY ( SUM(a.total_pages) * 8 ) / 1024 DESC

Sample output as shown below,
