Estimate private 5g data usage from explicit engineering assumptions. The tool shows the primary planning value plus supporting figures so you can see how traffic, margin, geometry, or path components affect the result. Use measured inputs when available and treat the output as a design estimate rather than a service guarantee.
The monthly total is an engineering estimate based on sustained average traffic. It is most useful for comparing plans, backhaul quotas, or storage forecasts under a defined usage pattern.
Planning estimate only. Validate assumptions against equipment specifications, measurements, and local operating conditions.
For 120 users averaging 2.5 Mbps for 8 hours on 22 days, daily traffic is 1,080.0 GB and monthly traffic is 23,760.0 GB (23.76 TB).
It uses decimal units: 1 GB equals 1,000 MB. A provider that reports binary GiB may display a different number.
Yes, if streaming dominates usage. For mixed applications, enter a weighted average rate during active time.
No. The formula converts payload data rate directly to volume. Add a planning margin when overhead or retransmissions are material.
Yes. For example, 1.5 represents one hour and thirty minutes per day.
Traffic varies by user, compression, updates, idle activity, retransmissions, and the provider's measurement method.
| Input | Conversion used |
|---|---|
| 1 Mbps for 1 hour | 0.45 GB |
| 1 GB | 1,000 MB |
| Annual estimate | Monthly result × 12 |
