How to convert bits per second to kilobits per second

Formulakbit/s = bit/s × 0.001

Multiply the value in bits per second by 0.001. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000 (or divide by 0.001).

A bit per second is smaller than a kilobit per second: it takes 1,000 bits per second to make one kilobit per second.

Worked examples

1 bit per second1 bit/s × 0.001 = 0.001 kbit/s
5 bits per second5 bit/s × 0.001 = 0.005 kbit/s
10 bits per second10 bit/s × 0.001 = 0.01 kbit/s
20 bits per second20 bit/s × 0.001 = 0.02 kbit/s
100 bits per second100 bit/s × 0.001 = 0.1 kbit/s

About the units

Bit per second (bit/s)

The bit per second (bit/s) is a unit of data transfer rate.

Kilobit per second (kbit/s)

1,000 bits per second. Audio streams are measured in kbps (e.g. 320 kbps MP3).

Frequently asked questions

How many kilobits per second are in one bit per second?

There are 0.001 kilobits per second in one bit per second, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert bits per second to kilobits per second?

Multiply the number of bits per second by 0.001. For example, 10 bit/s × 0.001 = 0.01 kbit/s.

How many bits per second are in one kilobit per second?

One kilobit per second equals 1,000 bits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.001.

What is 10 bits per second in kilobits per second?

10 bit/s = 0.01 kbit/s.

Is this bit/s to kbit/s converter accurate?

Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
