Kilobits per Second to Bytes per Second

How to convert kilobits per second to bytes per second

FormulaB/s = kbit/s × 125

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

A kilobit per second is larger than a byte per second: one kilobit per second contains 125 bytes per second.

About the units

Kilobit per second (kbit/s)

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

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).

Frequently asked questions

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

There are 125 bytes per second in one kilobit per second, and this value is exact by definition.

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

Multiply the number of kilobits per second by 125. For example, 10 kbit/s × 125 = 1,250 B/s.

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

One byte per second equals 0.008 kilobits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 125.

What is 10 kilobits per second in bytes per second?

10 kbit/s = 1,250 B/s.

Is this kbit/s to B/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.
