  if it is for a single table you can use this

  sp_spaceused <tablename>

  DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE)

  GO

   

  DBCC SQLPERF(Logspace) can be used to monitor the amount of space used and indicates when to back up or truncate the transaction log.

  Here is quick script that might help as well.  It will look up all User Tables for monitoring. 

   

  SET NOCOUNT ON

  CREATE TABLE #TableName( RowID int IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,

   TableName varchar(50) )

  INSERT INTO #TableName( TableName) 

  SELECT name AS TableName

  FROM sysobjects

  WHERE xtype IN( 'U', 'S') -- not 'S or system table

    AND name NOT LIKE 'sys%'

    AND UID = 1.0 -- Indicates a dbo created table

  CREATE TABLE #TableInformation(

   TableName nvarchar(50),

   RowsCount char(20),

   SpaceReserved varchar(25),

   SpaceUsed varchar(25),

   IndexSize varchar(25),

   SpaceUnused varchar(25))

  DECLARE @sql nvarchar(2000),

   @TableName varchar(100),

   @CurrentID integer,

   @MaxID integer

  SELECT @CurrentID = (SELECT MIN( RowID) FROM #TableName), 

   @MaxID = (SELECT MAX( RowID) FROM #TableName)

  WHILE @CurrentID <= @MaxID

  BEGIN

   SELECT @TableName = (SELECT TableName FROM #TableName

      WHERE RowID = @CurrentID)

   IF ISNULL( @TableName, 'N/A') <> 'N/A'

   BEGIN

    INSERT INTO #TableInformation

    EXEC sp_spaceused @TableName --, @updateusage = 'TRUE' -- when the update statics parameter is run, no records returned 

   END

   SELECT @CurrentID = (SELECT MIN( RowID) FROM #TableName WHERE RowID > @CurrentID)

  END

  SELECT TableName AS 'Table Name', CONVERT( integer, REPLACE( SpaceUsed, ' KB', '')) AS 'Space Used KB',

   CONVERT( integer, REPLACE( SpaceReserved, ' KB', '')) AS 'Space Reserved KB',

   CONVERT( integer, REPLACE( SpaceUnused, ' KB', '')) AS 'Space Unused KB',

   CONVERT( integer, RowsCount) AS 'Rows Count', CONVERT( integer, REPLACE( IndexSize, ' KB', '')) AS 'Index Size KB'

  FROM #TableInformation

  ORDER BY TableName ASC

  DROP TABLE #TableName

  DROP TABLE #TableInformation

  I wasn't born stupid - I had to study.
