Tap an example to prefill the calculator with sample values.
Typical HD household
3 hours/day of 1080p Netflix-style streaming
A common baseline for a home that watches most evenings without going all-in on 4K.
Result: Monthly usage can be surprisingly large even before live sports or additional devices are added.
Heavy Twitch viewer
4 hours/day of live streaming
Useful when long live streams make the monthly total add up faster than expected.
Result: Live streaming can rival large game installs surprisingly quickly over a full month.
4K binge month
High-resolution streaming under a capped plan
This catches how fast 4K use can burn through a finite data cap.
Result: At 4K, a few hours a day can eat most of a capped plan on its own.
