How to work out how much data your transaction will use?

[helloeverybody]

Can anyone explain how the transaction sizes are calculated? For example if i send 1million btc will this take up the whole 1mb? Im not quite sure how this is all calculated.

it's calculated from the number of input and output.
10 + {I*180} + {O*24} = tx size in byte. give or take few bytes.

edit:
there's a more technical explanation here.

Thanks i was thinking it might have been a bit simpler lol. I will have a read over that and try and get my head round it.

just found out that that thing I posted above is kind of outdated.
now it's
10 + {I*148} + {O*34} plus or minus 'I' = size. give or take few bytes.

source of that here. it's actually not that hard to understand.
