 Blocks are currently limited to 1,000,000 bytes (1MB) total size. We change this restriction as follows:
 
-''Block cost'' is defined. The cost of each byte in the existing header and transactions is 4, while the cost of each byte in witness data is 1.
+''Block cost'' is defined as ''Base size'' * 3 + ''Total size''.
 
-The new rule is total ''block cost'' ≤ 4,000,000.
+''Base size'' is the block size in bytes with the original transaction serialization without any witness-related data, as seen by a non-upgraded node.
+
+''Total size'' is the block size in bytes with transactions serialized as described in [[bip-0144.mediawiki|BIP144]], including base data and witness data.
+
+The new rule is ''block cost'' ≤ 4,000,000.

 The scriptPubKey occupies 34 bytes, as opposed to 23 bytes of BIP16 P2SH. The increased size improves security against possible collision attacks, as 2<sup>80</sup> work is not infeasible anymore (By the end of 2015, 2<sup>84</sup> hashes have been calculated in Bitcoin mining since the creation of Bitcoin). The spending script is same as the one for an equivalent BIP16 P2SH output but is moved to witness.
