There are several estimators out there which take away the donkey work

You have to take into account the Null bitmap which will be 3 bytes in this case + number of rows per page + row header + row version + pointers + all the stuff here:

Edit:

Your 19 bytes of actual data

• has 11 bytes overhead
• total 30 bytes per row
• around 269 rows per page (8096 / 30)
• requires 60 pages (16000 / 269)

• around 490k space (60 x 8192)

• a few KB for the index structure of the primary
