You fell victim to the marketing slogans illustrated by this WikiPedia article.

So, according to the definition in the above link, your drive probably has a capacity of 

32GB (32*1000*1000*1000 bytes)

But because the free space is calculated in GiB, the real capacity is

32,000,000,000 / (1024*1024*1024) = 29.80 GiB (gibibyte)

The rest of the difference may be due to filesystem overhead and such.
