why does df command and gparted show different free space?

In my case, I have: 

$ df -hT
Filesystem     Type      Size    Used   Avail   Use%   Mounted on
[...]
/dev/sda4      ext4      184G    173G    1.6G   100%   /home

and the same results from Nautilus
while gparted shows:

Size         Used                Unused
186.47GiB    175.58 GiB (94%)    10.90 GiB (6%)

Gparted will be looking at actual inodes and disk-level info to determine how much is free, whereas df will be looking using the filesystem tools themselves[...]
