Bytes per Second to Kilobits per Second

How to convert bytes per second to kilobits per second

Formulakbit/s = B/s × 0.008

Multiply the value in bytes per second by 0.008. To go the other way, multiply by 125 (or divide by 0.008).

A byte per second is smaller than a kilobit per second: it takes 125 bytes per second to make one kilobit per second.

Worked examples

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).

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 byte per second?

There are 0.008 kilobits per second in one byte per second, and this value is exact by definition.

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

Multiply the number of bytes per second by 0.008. For example, 10 B/s × 0.008 = 0.08 kbit/s.

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

One kilobit per second equals 125 bytes per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.008.

What is 10 bytes per second in kilobits per second?

10 B/s = 0.08 kbit/s.

Is this B/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.
