11 FOCUSED TOOLS
Storage & compression calculators
Plan decimal data capacity, compression and simple backup retention.
Choose the right calculation
Specify decimal or binary units before comparing storage totals. Full-backup retention differs from incremental or deduplicated backup plans. Compression can sometimes increase size when data is already compressed.

Data Transfer Cost Calculator
Estimate data egress charges from decimal gigabytes and a manually entered rate.
Backup Storage Calculator
Estimate storage for retained full backups with an assumed compression ratio.
Compression Ratio Calculator
Compare original size with compressed size as a compression multiple.
Storage Saving Percentage Calculator
Find the percentage of original data size saved after compression.
Binary Address Space Calculator
Count distinct combinations represented by a fixed number of bits.
Cloud Storage Cost Calculator
Estimate simple flat-rate cloud storage charges from average usage.
Cloud Compute Cost Calculator
Estimate constant-rate compute-instance spending.
Data Growth Storage Calculator
Project data volume under a chosen recurring percentage-growth scenario.
Backup Transfer Window Calculator
Estimate transfer time for a decimal-gigabyte backup over a sustained payload link.
Password Search Space Bits Calculator
Measure the theoretical information content of a uniform random character model.
Average Brute Force Time Calculator
Translate an ideal search-space size and assumed test rate into an average search time.
Is a 4:1 compression ratio a 400% saving?
No. It means the compressed size is one quarter of the original, corresponding to a 75% size reduction.
