About this calculation
PCM data rate = sample rate × bit depth × channels. Storage = data rate ÷ 8 × duration. Decimal MB uses 1,000,000 bytes.
How to use this calculator
What to enter
Enter or select the following as requested: Sample rate; Bit depth; Channels; Duration (minutes). Follow the units, valid ranges, examples, and options displayed beside each field.
What the result means
The output gives the imaging, print, video, or audio value implied by the settings entered. Confirm whether the tool uses pixels, physical dimensions, frames per second, samples, bits, or another unit, and check the intended output medium.
When to use it
Use this to plan capture, editing, playback, or print settings. Preview the result on the target device or medium because display, compression, and hardware behavior can affect the final outcome.
