FAQs
- How is data transfer calculated?
The calculator multiplies your bandwidth by the number of seconds in the selected period, converts to bytes, and then to GB and TB. - Should I use cost per GB or TB?
Use whichever matches your provider's pricing. If both are entered, TB pricing is used. - Can I use this for cloud, CDN, or ISP pricing?
Yes, this tool works for any service that charges by data transferred. - What's the difference between Mbps and MBps?
Mbps is megabits per second (network speed); MBps is megabytes per second (storage speed). This calculator uses Mbps/Gbps. - Does this include taxes or extra fees?
No, always check with your provider for additional charges. - Can I copy the results?
Yes, simply select and copy any result value.
Tips for Accurate Bandwidth Cost Estimation
- Double-check your bandwidth and pricing units.
- Use the period that matches your billing cycle.
- For large transfers, TB pricing is usually more cost-effective.
- Always confirm with your provider for the most accurate rates.
