Network calculator

IPTV Bandwidth Calculator

Estimate the connection capacity required for one or more simultaneous IPTV streams with sensible network headroom.

Bitrate varies by source and picture quality. Add headroom for Wi-Fi variation and other household traffic instead of planning around the exact stream bitrate.

Enter a positive stream bitrate and number of simultaneous screens.Values are processed locally in your browser and are not submitted by this tool.
Before you act

Use the result as one controlled check.

  • Use the expected bitrate for each stream
  • Count simultaneous screens
  • Add at least 30 percent headroom
  • Test the real TV connection

Change one variable at a time and repeat the same test on the device, player and connection you normally use. This makes the result more useful than a one-off check on another screen.
