Will I have any storage left AFTER installing Big Sur?

I have a 121 gb macbook air and apparently I also need 33 gb on top of the 12 gb for the update to big sur. My question is, will Big Sur take up the whole 45 gb forever after the installation or will I get any of that storage back?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

You will get most of it back once installed.
