Mbps is the speed of your internet service. This can be the upload or download speed depending on what you want to measure. To find out your internet speed using the speed tool available from Netflix at fast.com.

MB (Megabytes)

Megabytes is the size of your file. If you're uploading a file you can get the size by checking the properties of the file. If you're downloading a file the site providing the file may or may not provide the size. If the file is in gigabytes, multiply the number by 1,024, and if the size of the file is in kilobytes, divide the number by 1,024. Since this is only an approximate result it should be sufficient to multiply or divide by 1,000.

Time

Time is the amount of time it is estimate it will take to upload or download the file given the size of the file and the speed of your service. The time is given in hours, minutes and seconds.

Notes

Consider calculations as estimates

Whilst this calculator will do an accurate calculation, in the real world there's quite a few things that means you should only consider the calculation result as an estimate.

The signal strength can vary over time affecting the upload speed.
The performance of the device your using can vary based on what's running.
The size of the file shown by the operating system in GB doesn't match the number of bytes.

What's important though is this calculator gives you an estimate of the time it will take to upload a file and that in itself can be very handy.
