Example 1
- 200 B
- 100000 / day
- compression 100
- 7 days
133,51 MB (Szac. w okresie (7 dni))
How much space at 200 B, 100000 and 7 days? 133,51 MB (Szac. w okresie (7 dni)). An estimate, not live logs.
Log storage
Type bytes per entry, count, compression, and days. 200, 100000, 100 and 7 give 133,51 MB. 500, 100000, 20 and 30 give 286,10 MB. 50, 10000, 100 and 1 give 0,48 MB. An estimate, not live logs.
A size estimate from four fields. Compression 100 means no compression (100% remains). The GB price sits on cloud storage cost.

How it works
Log storage in this calculator multiplies an entry by count and days. 200 B, 100000, compression 100 and 7 days give 133,51 MB (Szac. w okresie (7 dni)). 500 B, 100000, 20 and 30 give 286,10 MB (Szac. w okresie (30 dni)). 50 B, 10000, 100 and 1 give 0,48 MB (Szac. w okresie (1 dni)). This is not live logs.
Fields: log-size, log-count, log-compression-pct, log-retention-days. Daily = (B × count) / 1024² × (compression/100). Then times days. 100 means 100% of bytes remain. 20 means 20% remain. No replicas and no indexes.
133,51 MB does not come from Elasticsearch. 286,10 MB is not a Loki volume. 0,48 MB is not a file from logrotate. You type four numbers. The calculator does not read /var/log.
Cloud storage cost next door multiplies GB by a price. Compression ratio divides before by after. Here 200 B and 7 days stay 133,51 MB, the estimate alone.
Type 200, 100000, 100 and 7, then Calculate. The period result is 133,51 MB (Szac. w okresie (7 dni)). A comma in 200,5 works. Zero count zeroes MB. This is not a log agent.
200, 100000, 100 and 7 give 133,51 MB. 500, 20 and 30 give 286,10 MB. 50, 10000 and 1 day give 0,48 MB. Another retention at 200 changes 133,51 MB.
Formula
MB/day = (B × count) / 1024² × (compression/100); period = daily × days. 100 = no compression. An estimate, not live logs.
How to use
- Type 200 B, 100000 entries, compression 100, and 7 days.
- Click Calculate. The period is 133,51 MB (Szac. w okresie (7 dni)).
- 500, 20% and 30 days give 286,10 MB. 50, 10000 and 1 day give 0,48 MB.
- A size estimate, not live logs.
- Price those GB on cloud storage cost.
200 B, 100000 and 7 days = 133,51 MB
An estimate from four fields. 200 B, 100000 and 7 days give 133,51 MB. This is not live logs.
- Log
- Typed B and count. 200 B over 7 days leaves 133,51 MB. Not /var/log.
- storage
- The period result. 500 B, 20% and 30 days give 286,10 MB.
- estimate
- B times count times days. 50 B and 1 day leave 0,48 MB. Not an agent.
Examples
Example 2
- 500 B
- 100000 / day
- compression 20
- 30 days
286,10 MB (Szac. w okresie (30 dni))
What about 500 B, 20% and 30 days? 286,10 MB (Szac. w okresie (30 dni)).
Example 3
- 50 B
- 10000 / day
- compression 100
- 1 day
0,48 MB (Szac. w okresie (1 dni))
What about 50 B, 10000 and 1 day? 0,48 MB (Szac. w okresie (1 dni)).
Common questions
What about 200 B, 100000 and 7 days?
133,51 MB (Szac. w okresie (7 dni)). A size estimate, not live logs.
What about 500 B, 20% and 30 days?
286,10 MB (Szac. w okresie (30 dni)). 20% of bytes remain.
What about 50 B, 10000 and 1 day?
0,48 MB (Szac. w okresie (1 dni)).
Is 100 strong compression?
No. 100 means 100% of bytes remain, so no compression.
Does the calculator read /var/log?
No. Four fields you type. No agent and no Loki.
Do replicas enter 133,51 MB?
No. The formula does not multiply by replicas or indexes.
Does a comma in 200,5 work?
Yes. 200,5 B at the same count gives a different MB.
Where do I price those GB?
On cloud storage cost. Here the MB estimate stays.
Does zero entries count?
Yes as 0 MB. A blank field is a number error.
