Aiden Finn: I've previously discussed how RAM is used by Hyper-V in terms of:

• The parent partition
• Hyper-V services
• Drivers
• Guest RAM allocation overhead.

I've put together an Excel spreadsheet that calculates how much RAM is consumed by a VM as you load it onto a host.  Using it is easy:

1. Specify how much RAM is in the physical host machine.
2. Add each guest VM and enter how much RAM (in GB) you want to allocate to the guest.
3. The RAM utilised by the guest is calculated and the amount remaining on the host is presented.

The numbers you need to enter are highlighted in yellow.
