How to convert kilobits per second to bits per second

Formulabit/s = kbit/s × 1,000

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

A kilobit per second is larger than a bit per second: one kilobit per second contains 1,000 bits per second.

Worked examples

1 kilobit per second1 kbit/s × 1,000 = 1,000 bit/s
5 kilobits per second5 kbit/s × 1,000 = 5,000 bit/s
10 kilobits per second10 kbit/s × 1,000 = 10,000 bit/s
20 kilobits per second20 kbit/s × 1,000 = 20,000 bit/s
100 kilobits per second100 kbit/s × 1,000 = 100,000 bit/s

About the units

Kilobit per second (kbit/s)

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

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 kilobit per second?

There are 1,000 bits per second in one kilobit per second, and this value is exact by definition.

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

Multiply the number of kilobits per second by 1,000. For example, 10 kbit/s × 1,000 = 10,000 bit/s.

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

One bit per second equals 0.001 kilobits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1,000.

What is 10 kilobits per second in bits per second?

10 kbit/s = 10,000 bit/s.

Is this kbit/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.
