Bytes per Second to Bits per Second Converter

How to convert bytes per second to bits per second

Formulabit/s = B/s × 8

Multiply the value in bytes per second by 8. To go the other way, multiply by 0.125 (or divide by 8).

A byte per second is larger than a bit per second: one byte per second contains 8 bits per second.

Worked examples

1 byte per second1 B/s × 8 = 8 bit/s
5 bytes per second5 B/s × 8 = 40 bit/s
10 bytes per second10 B/s × 8 = 80 bit/s
20 bytes per second20 B/s × 8 = 160 bit/s
100 bytes per second100 B/s × 8 = 800 bit/s

About the units

Byte per second (B/s)

The byte per second (B/s) is a unit of data transfer rate. One byte per second equals 8 bits per second (bit/s).

Bit per second (bit/s)

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

Frequently asked questions

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

There are 8 bits per second in one byte per second, and this value is exact by definition.

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

Multiply the number of bytes per second by 8. For example, 10 B/s × 8 = 80 bit/s.

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

One bit per second equals 0.125 bytes per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 8.

What is 10 bytes per second in bits per second?

10 B/s = 80 bit/s.

Is this B/s to bit/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.
