How it works
Decimal GB = Mbps×1,000,000/8×3,600×hours/day×days×streams/1,000,000,000.
Input definitions
- Average stream bitrate (Mbps)
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.
- Hours of use per day
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.
- Days in period
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.
- Simultaneous streams/devices
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.
A worked example
- Average stream bitrate (Mbps)
- 5
- Hours of use per day
- 2
- Days in period
- 30
- Simultaneous streams/devices
- 1
Assumptions & limits
Decimal Mbps/GB and binary GiB are shown separately. Input bitrate is user-supplied, not a current service quality preset.

Common questions
Can I check the result before using it?
Compare the worked example with your inputs and use the stated method: Decimal GB = Mbps×1,000,000/8×3,600×hours/day×days×streams/1,000,000,000.. Confirm input units and boundary choices before relying on the result.
