Maximum # of Fields in an Object

I know this is in the doco somewhere, but I have been unable to find it.

 

What is the maximum # of fields in an object, and what is the maximum # of formula fields in an object?

 

Do formula fields use data storage space, or are they calculated when a record is retrieved?

500 is the max # of custom fields you can add to an object, and formula fields count towards that limit, but formula fields do not consume any data storage space.

 

I don't know of any limit on the # of formula fields beyond the overall custom field limit of 500, but it's possible that there is such a limit on the # of formula fields and I have just never hit it.
