An internet data usage calculator estimates monthly broadband consumption based on daily online activities. Essential for choosing the right data plan and avoiding overage charges on capped connections.
Formel
monthly_usage_gb = (video_hours × bitrate_gbph) + (calls × hours × mbph/1000) + (browsing × pages × mb_per_page)
- video
- Video hours (hours) — Streaming (HD ≈ 3 GB/hr, 4K ≈ 7 GB/hr)
- calls
- Video calls (hours) — Zoom/Teams (1.5 Mbps = 0.68 GB/hr)
- browse
- Browsing (hours) — Web pages (~10 MB/page)
- total
- Total data (GB) — Monthly consumption
