Because Unity takes up space too. This is marked as "Other" in the memory profiler. It is basically all the Dlls, plugins, and managers that Unity needs to run on the target platform.
is it fixed size? or does it depend on my work?
i mean a game like $$anonymous$$e will have 66$$anonymous$$B ins$$anonymous$$d of 12$$anonymous$$B but a game with lets say 500$$anonymous$$B what will be the real size of it?

Unity has native libraries that must be included to function on your platform. Is one possible reason. GL

You should have a look at the entry from the Editor.log to see which assets are the reason for this increase of the data amount. You could get there by opening the Unity Console and then press the little button on the top right and choose Editor.Log.
If textures make up the biggest portion:
Often textures take up most space in the build. The first to do is to use compressed texture formats (DXT(Desktop platforms) or PVRTC) where you can. If that doesn’t get the size down, try to reduce the size of the textures. The trick here is that you don’t need to modify the actual source content. Simply select the texture in the Project view and set Max Size in Import Settings. It is a good idea to zoom in on an object that uses the texture, then adjust the Max Size until it starts looking worse in the Scene View.
