Bandwidth

Calculate average network bandwidth from transferred data and elapsed time.

How this calculator works

Enter the values for first value, second value and review the units before calculating.

Formula / method

Bandwidth = data × 8 ÷ time

Worked example

10 GB transferred in 60 seconds averages about 1.333 Gbps.

Assumptions and limitations

Decimal gigabytes and gigabits are used and the transfer rate is averaged.

Peak throughput, protocol overhead and burst behavior are not shown.
