Run the following query to find out the database files size in MB. Create a maintenance plan as per your threshold (if the difference is less than 10%, set up an alarm).

SELECT @@SERVERNAME as ServerName, DB_NAME([database_id])AS [DBName],
name, physical_name, type_desc,
CONVERT( bigint, size/128.0) [SizeinMB],
Convert( bigint, max_size/128.0) [MaxSize],
Convert( bigint, Growth/128.0) [Growth],
(Convert( bigint, max_size/128.0) -
Convert( bigint, size/128.0) ) Difference
FROM sys.master_files
Where DB_NAME([database_id]) NOT IN ('master','tempdb','model','msdb','ReportServer','ReportServerTempDB')
