Our Data Transfer Calculator is a handy tool to estimate the time required for transferring files of various sizes at different speeds.
To use the calculator:
- Enter the file size in the “File Size” field and select the appropriate unit from the dropdown menu; megabytes is the default value here, but you can also choose gigabytes or other units.
- Enter the transfer speed in the “Transfer Speed” field and choose the correct unit (e.g., Bytes/s, Kilobits/s, Megabits/s, etc.) from the dropdown menu; 25 megabits per second is the default value, as that reflects a typical home broadband speed in 2024.
- Select the desired time unit for the result (e.g., Seconds, Minutes, Hours, etc.) from the “Time Unit” dropdown menu.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the estimated transfer time based on your input.
