A data budget.
Built around you.

A map check is not a movie night. Tell us how you’ll use your phone away from Wi-Fi.

Daily minutes using mobile data

Planning assumption: 5 MB/hour
Planning assumption: 120 MB/hour
Planning assumption: 700 MB/hour
Planning assumption: 300 MB/hour
Add laptop work, cloud backups and other activity not counted above.
These are planning assumptions, not measurements

Rates are deliberately simple editorial inputs, not measured app benchmarks. Quality, autoplay, adverts, background traffic and app updates can change usage dramatically. We use 1 GB = 1,000 MB.

Formula: Σ(minutes ÷ 60 × assumed MB/hour) × days ÷ 1,000, plus other GB, then multiply by (1 + buffer ÷ 100). Check your phone’s real usage and use the estimate as a starting point, not a guarantee.
