How to Convert Tebibytes to Bytes (TiB to B)
Data conversions explain why a 1 TB drive shows less space on your computer and help compare mobile plans sold in gigabytes. This guide shows how to convert tebibytes into bytes by hand, with examples and a quick-reference table.
The conversion
To convert tebibytes to bytes, multiply the value by 1.099512e+12. To go the other way, divide by the same number (or multiply by 9.094947e-13). For a quick estimate, multiply by about 1,100,000,000,000.
Bytes = tebibytes × 1.099512e+12
Worked examples
- 3 TiB = 3.298535e+12 B
- 12.5 TiB = 1.374390e+13 B
- 75 TiB = 8.246337e+13 B

Is TiB to B exact?
The factors used here are the internationally defined values where they exist; results are rounded for display only.

Mistakes to avoid
Multiplying when you should divide
Converting to a smaller unit gives a bigger number, and converting to a larger unit gives a smaller one. If your answer moves the wrong way, you have inverted the factor.
Rounding the factor too early
Using 3 instead of 3.28 for feet per metre introduces an error of almost 9% before you have started.
Mixing similar-sounding units
US and imperial gallons, pints and tons are different sizes, and decimal kilobytes differ from binary kibibytes.
Background
Singapore adopted the metric system in the 1970s, replacing imperial units and traditional Chinese measures in most official uses. Metric units are now standard in schools, trade and government, but older units survive in property, markets and imported goods.
Many conversion factors are exact by definition. The inch has been defined as exactly 2.54 centimetres since 1959, and the pound as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, so conversions involving them can be as precise as you need.
For everyday use, three or four significant figures are usually enough. Engineering, science and trade documents may need more, and rounding should happen only at the end of a calculation.
