This is done by a lower level function megatools is using g_format_size_full.

The function has flags to print only value or unit in glib 2.74
https://docs.gtk.org/glib/flags.FormatSizeFlags.html but 2.74 is very new,
so I can't use it yet.

If you're using the df output for further processing and not for human display,
don't use --human flag. Than you can process the output values as you like,
because they'll be in bytes.
