What is the Data Storage Converter?

A data storage converter translates digital capacity between bits, bytes and decimal and binary multiples.

Why use this calculator?

Storage makers use decimal units (1 GB = 1,000 MB) while operating systems often use binary units (1 GiB = 1,024 MiB), which is why reported sizes differ.

How to use it

  1. Enter the data size.
  2. Choose the source and target units.
  3. Read the converted size.

Formula

1 byte = 8 bits; decimal kilobyte = 1,000 bytes; binary kibibyte = 1,024 bytes.
Use the "i" units (KiB, MiB, GiB) for binary multiples and plain KB, MB, GB for decimal ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my 1 TB drive show less than 1 TB?
Drive makers use decimal terabytes (1,000 GB) while systems often report binary tebibytes (1,024 GiB), so the same capacity shows a smaller number.
How many bits are in a byte?
There are 8 bits in one byte.
How precise are the conversions?
Conversions use standard, internationally defined factors and are rounded for display. They are accurate to the number of digits shown.
Can I convert back and forth without losing accuracy?
Yes. Enter the original value to get an exact inverse conversion; avoid chaining rounded results if you need maximum precision.
Which measurement system is used?
Both metric (SI) and US customary / imperial units are supported and clearly labelled.
Is this calculator free to use?
Yes. Every calculator on this site is completely free, with no hidden fees, no subscriptions and no limits on how many times you can use it.
How accurate are the results?
We use standard, widely accepted formulas and calculate in your browser using double-precision arithmetic. Results are rounded for readability, so treat them as reliable estimates rather than a guarantee. Real-world factors can vary the true figure.
Can I add this calculator to my own website?
Yes. Open this calculator page and use the "Add to your website" box in the sidebar to copy a ready-made iframe snippet, then paste it into any HTML page.

How to Calculate Net Worth: Formula, Examples, and Calculator

Key Takeaways - Net worth formula: Net Worth = Total Assets − Total Liabilities. - Assets include: Cash, bank savings, investments, property, vehicles, retirement savings, business interests, gold, and other valuables. - Liabilities include: Home loans, car loans, personal loans, credit card balances, education loans, and other outstanding debts. - Use current values: Estimate assets at their current market or resale value and use the remaining balances on loans. - Understand the result: Net worth can be positive, zero, or negative, depending on the relationship between assets and liabilities. - Net worth is not income: Salary measures earnings over time, while net worth measures your financial position at a specific point in time. - Use a calculator or Excel: Both methods can help you calculate net worth and track changes over time. - Track progress regularly: Review your net worth monthly, quarterly, or annually to identify long-term financial trends. - Improve your financial position: Build savings, reduce high-interest debt, invest according to your goals, and review major expenses. - Avoid double-counting: When including a business or property, make sure its value and associated debts are accounted for correctly.
