If OP wants to build their own tooling to check this in future, they
can combine the `-t` and `-v` flags for tar(1), which (with some
scripting) can be used to get a good estimate of the extracted size of
an archive.
Of course, any other tool / library capable of parsing tar archives,
e.g. pax(1) or libarchive(3), will work as well.
