Video dominates any realistic estimate, and the gap between quality levels is enormous: standard definition uses around 0.5 GB an hour, 1080p around 1.5 GB, and 4K around 7 GB. Everything else is rounding by comparison. These figures are typical rather than exact, since services vary their bitrate with the content and with your connection, and a busy scene uses several times what a static one does.

What this cannot tell you

  • An estimate from the hours you enter and typical consumption rates. It does not measure any device or read your usage from a provider.
  • Streaming services vary their bitrate with the content and with your connection, so a busy scene can use several times what a static one does. Treat the totals as indicative.
