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%)
