Bandwidth Calculator

Find the bandwidth needed to transfer data in a time.

Required bandwidth (Mbps) 66.667

Throughput (MB/s) 8.333

Formula: Mbps = data * 8000 / seconds

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Data size = 5 GB

3. Time = 10

5. Required bandwidth = 66.667Mbps

6. Throughput = 8.333MB/s

Did we solve your problem today?

Find the connection speed needed to move a file in a target time.

The math behind it

bandwidth (Mbps) = data (GB) x 8000 / time (s). Divide by 8 for megabytes per second.

5 GB in 10 minutes needs about 66.7 Mbps.

Bits vs bytes?

Bandwidth is in bits per second; file sizes are in bytes (8 bits each).
