Computer calculators

Practical calculations for the digital world: how long a file takes on your link, how much bandwidth all your users need, how many milliseconds go into a frame and how a resolution reduces to an aspect ratio. Bits and bytes, decimal and binary prefixes are kept explicitly apart rather than hidden in a coefficient.

Which calculation to choose

What to prepare

Check file size, speed units and simultaneous active connections. Account for network overhead separately.

Common mistake

One byte contains eight bits. A theoretical link speed does not guarantee that file download speed.

FAQ

What is the difference between a megabyte and a mebibyte?

A megabyte is a million bytes; a mebibyte is 1,048,576 bytes. The gap is about five percent and shows on large files, so the unit is chosen explicitly.

Why is link speed in bits but file size in bytes?

History: providers measure links in bits per second while files are stored in bytes. One byte is eight bits, and the calculator converts for you.

Is protocol overhead included?

No. The calculation is deterministic: real throughput is usually lower, and a margin can be added in a separate field where one is provided.

Why does 2560×1080 give 64:27 rather than 21:9?

The exact ratio comes from dividing by the greatest common divisor. "21:9" is a marketing round number, not the reduced ratio.
