How do I calculate tables size in Oracle

You might be interested in this query. It tells you how much space is allocated for each table taking into account the indexes and any LOBs on the table. Often you are interested to know “How much spaces the the Purchase Order table take, including any indexes” rather than just the table itself. You can always delve into the details. Note that this requires access to the DBA_* views.

COLUMN TABLE_NAME FORMAT A32
COLUMN OBJECT_NAME FORMAT A32
COLUMN OWNER FORMAT A10

SELECT
   owner, 
   table_name, 
   TRUNC(sum(bytes)/1024/1024) Meg,
   ROUND( ratio_to_report( sum(bytes) ) over () * 100) Percent
FROM
(SELECT segment_name table_name, owner, bytes
 FROM dba_segments
 WHERE segment_type IN ('TABLE', 'TABLE PARTITION', 'TABLE SUBPARTITION')
 UNION ALL
 SELECT i.table_name, i.owner, s.bytes

WHERE owner in UPPER('&owner')
GROUP BY table_name, owner
HAVING SUM(bytes)/1024/1024 > 10  /* Ignore really small tables */
ORDER BY SUM(bytes) desc
