Kilobits per Second to Kilobytes per Second

How to convert kilobits per second to kilobytes per second

FormulakB/s = kbit/s × 0.125

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

A kilobit per second is smaller than a kilobyte per second: it takes 8 kilobits per second to make one kilobyte 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).

Kilobyte per second (kB/s)

The kilobyte per second (kB/s) is a unit of data transfer rate in the International System of Units (SI). One kilobyte per second equals 8,000 bits per second (bit/s).

Frequently asked questions

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

There are 0.125 kilobytes per second in one kilobit per second, and this value is exact by definition.

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

Multiply the number of kilobits per second by 0.125. For example, 10 kbit/s × 0.125 = 1.25 kB/s.

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

One kilobyte per second equals 8 kilobits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.125.

What is 10 kilobits per second in kilobytes per second?

10 kbit/s = 1.25 kB/s.

Is this kbit/s to kB/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.
