 Both variables are used as a guideline for how much space the user needs on their drive in total, not just strictly for the blockchain.
 Note that all values should be taken from a **fully synced** node and have an overhead of 5-10% added on top of its base value.
 
-To calculate `m_assumed_blockchain_size`:
-- For `mainnet` -> Take the size of the data directory, excluding the `/testnet3`, `/signet`, and `/regtest` directories.
-- For `testnet` -> Take the size of the `/testnet3` directory.
-- For `signet` -> Take the size of the `/signet` directory.
+To calculate `m_assumed_blockchain_size`, take the size in GiB of these directories:
+- For `mainnet` -> the data directory, excluding the `/testnet3`, `/signet`, and `/regtest` directories
+- For `testnet` -> `/testnet3`
+- For `signet` -> `/signet`
 
-To calculate `m_assumed_chain_state_size`:
-- For `mainnet` -> Take the size of the `/chainstate` directory.
-- For `testnet` -> Take the size of the `/testnet3/chainstate` directory.
-- For `signet` -> Take the size of the `/signet/chainstate` directory.
+To calculate `m_assumed_chain_state_size`, take the size in GiB of these directories:
+- For `mainnet` -> `/chainstate`
+- For `testnet` -> `/testnet3/chainstate`
+- For `signet` -> `/signet/chainstate`
 
 Notes:
 - When taking the size for `m_assumed_blockchain_size`, there's no need to exclude the `/chainstate` directory since it's a guideline value and an overhead will be added anyway.
