Accuracy and rounding
Decimal units use powers of 1000; binary units such as MiB and GiB use powers of 1024.
Decimal data units use powers of 1000, while binary units such as KiB, MiB, and GiB use powers of 1024.
For storage estimates, two decimals are readable. For byte-level checks, use the raw bits value from the calculator.
