Enter the average transfer rate provided by the service into the calculator to determine the 95th percentile bandwidth.

## 95th Percentile Bandwidth Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the 95th Percentile Bandwidth.

B95 = BP * .95

• Where B95 is the 95th percentile bandwidth
• BP is the bandwidth provided by the service provider

## What is a 95th Percentile Bandwidth?

Definition:

A 95th percentile bandwidth is a total bandwidth that a service provider specifies that the consumer must be inside the rand for 95% of their usage.

In other words, 95 percent of the time, the user must be below the certain level of bandwidth usage.

## How to Calculate 95th Percentile Bandwidth?

Example Problem:

The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate 95th Percentile Bandwidth.

First, determine the bandwidth provided by the service. In this case, the bandwidth is 100 MB/s.

Next, the final and last step is to determine the 95th percentile bandwidth using the formula above:

B95 = BP * .95

B95 = 100 * .95

B95 = 100 MB/s
