Data estimator

Your habits. Your data budget.

Estimate the mobile data you use away from Wi-Fi. Quality settings and apps can change actual usage considerably.

A typical day, away from Wi-Fi

Include mobile-network use only. Downloads, video calls, hotspot use, updates and roaming are excluded.

Where the estimates come from

Video: 0.3 / 0.7 / 3 GB per hour, based on Netflix low, medium and HD settings. Music: 96 / 160 / 320 kbit/s, converted to decimal GB. Browsing, social and maps: planning assumptions of 0.05 / 0.1 / 0.2 GB per hour; these are broad allowances, not measured app rates.

Sources: Netflix data guidance and Spotify audio quality. 30 days per month. Check your phone's actual mobile-data usage for a better baseline.
