IOPS and Throughput Calculator
Convert IOPS and average block size into sequential throughput, or estimate the IOPS needed for a throughput target.

$0.00 annually
Methodology and assumptions
Formula: Throughput in MiB/s = IOPS × block size in KiB ÷ 1,024.
Worked example:3,000 IOPS with a 16 KiB average block size produces a theoretical 46.875 MiB/s.
Common mistake or edge case:This is an arithmetic ceiling, not a benchmark. Queue depth, latency, access pattern, caching, and service caps can lower observed throughput.
