Mobile Data Calculator
Estimate how much mobile data you may use each month. Enter the time you spend on each activity when you are not connected to Wi-Fi.
This is an estimate. Your actual use will depend on the apps, settings and services you use.
A little spare capacity can help cover heavier months. This is not a tariff recommendation.

Where Your Data Goes
How does the calculator estimate data use?
The calculator uses typical data-use estimates for each activity. It then converts the time you enter into an estimated monthly total.
Actual use can vary significantly. For example, HD video can use much more data than lower-quality video.
The calculator currently uses these approximate hourly figures:
- Browsing and email: 60 MB
- Social media: 180 MB
- Music streaming: 75 MB
- Standard-quality video: 700 MB
- HD video: 2.5 GB
- Video calls: 900 MB
- Maps and navigation: 15 MB
- Online gaming: 100 MB
Downloads, software updates and downloading games are not included.
