STREAMING DATA USAGE CALCULATORHow much data does streaming use?
For Netflix, high-definition video can use up to 3 GB per hour per device; 4K can use up to 7 GB. Two hours of HD each day over 30 days gives an upper estimate of 180 GB for one screen.
This calculator counts the viewing hours you enter for each screen. It excludes other internet use, downloads, updates and test traffic.
Netflix data-use guidance ↗Mbps and GB measure different things
Mbps describes how fast data can move. GB describes the amount transferred. A faster connection does not automatically use more data; the video’s quality, bitrate and viewing time determine the amount.
