Currently I am trying to estimate by summing up all the field sizes in each table multiplied by the estimated number of records at any time.

...

Don't forget about indices, room for temporary tables if you use them, space that the table structure itself takes up, and so on. Also, I believe the amount of space taken up depends on the type of table, so different table types will have different space issues.
