Formula & worked example

Daily GB = 3×HD hours + 0.7×SD hours + 0.15×music hours + 0.06×browsing hours + 0.9×call hours. Monthly = daily × 30.

2 hours of HD video a day uses 6 GB/day, about 180 GB/month.

Limitations — read this before you rely on it

Estimates from typical bitrates; actual use depends on quality settings, codec and app behaviour.

Frequently asked questions

About 3 GB per hour at typical HD quality; 4K can use 7 GB per hour or more.

Plain web pages are small; the figure rises sharply if browsing includes lots of video autoplay.

No — add large downloads, game updates and cloud backups separately; they are not hourly activities.

Yes, monthly figures use 30 days for a simple comparable estimate.

Providers round up, count tethering and background use, and measure in GB vs GiB; treat this as an estimate.
