Memory usage

If I buy a new 32gb iPad do I actually get 32gb of usable memory for apps or will the IOS and System Data use up 10gb of it ?? This is the reason why I’m being made to buy a new one as my 16gb Air has had most of its memory used up by Apple themselves !!! Thank you

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15

You will have about 27 GB of available storage, give or take. The storage listed for a device is the total storage but some of that space will taken up by the iOS and the preinstalled apps.
