Mobile data usage calculator
Enter a typical day on mobile data, not on Wi-Fi. The estimate uses average figures; your apps' quality settings change them a lot.
The figures used
| Activity | Data per hour (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Video, low / standard / HD / 4K | 0.3 / 0.8 / 2 / 6 GB |
| Short-video social media | 0.6 GB |
| Music or podcasts (normal quality) | 0.07 GB |
| Video calls | 0.6 GB |
| Browsing, email, messaging | 0.1 GB |
| Maps and navigation | 0.03 GB |
Add 10–20% for app updates and background use if you don't restrict them to Wi-Fi. If the result is close to a plan's limit, choose the next size up, or follow the tips in making mobile data last.
