calculating space

I have an Orders table with initially 5,000 rows and it is estimated that it will have in average 30 orders daily.  The orders need to be kept for 6 months, before it is archived and deleted from the database.  How do you Calculate the amount of space that needs to be reserved for the Orders table.  are there any assumptions when calculating the
table size.
