Tool 003 · Data movement
Plan the payload, effective link rate, transfer window, destination copies, user-supplied costs, and twelve-month growth without uploading a file list.
Current estimate
Estimate wire time and storage from your own throughput and price assumptions—without uploading a manifest.

The calculator applies an explicit efficiency percentage to the link before estimating wire time. That keeps protocol overhead, competing traffic, throttling, and imperfect parallelism visible instead of quietly assuming a perfect network.
The result uses decimal TB and GB, matching common network and storage pricing units.
Use a measured sustained rate when possible. Otherwise choose a conservative percentage and run a second scenario for the likely range.
No. The input is the percentage of data remaining after compression. If a 100 TB dataset becomes 70 TB, enter 70%.
Training, validation, backup, and separate environments can multiply the storage footprint even though the network payload is transferred only once in this simple model.
Many small files, encryption, checksums, retries, source read speed, destination ingest limits, per-flow caps, shared links, and maintenance windows can all extend the schedule.
