We have a 2012R2 server with 2 SQL 2014 Standard Instances.
The server has 64GB RAM. It tends to use about 5GB to 8GB total for OS and both instances as reported in Task Manager Performance tab. It's sitting at 56GB available as I write this.

SELECT (physical_memory_in_use_kb/1024) AS Memory_usedby_Sqlserver_MB, (locked_page_allocations_kb/1024) AS Locked_pages_used_Sqlserver_MB, (total_virtual_address_space_kb/1024) AS Total_VAS_in_MB, process_physical_memory_low, process_virtual_memory_low FROM sys.dm_os_process_memory;
