How to convert kilobits per second to megabytes per second
MB/s = kbit/s × 0.000125Multiply the value in kilobits per second by 0.000125. To go the other way, multiply by 8,000 (or divide by 0.000125).
A kilobit per second is smaller than a megabyte per second: it takes 8,000 kilobits per second to make one megabyte 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).
Megabyte per second (MB/s)
One million bytes per second — what download managers and disk benchmarks usually show. One megabyte per second equals 8,000,000 bits per second (bit/s).
Frequently asked questions
How many megabytes per second are in one kilobit per second?
There are 0.000125 megabytes per second in one kilobit per second, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert kilobits per second to megabytes per second?
Multiply the number of kilobits per second by 0.000125. For example, 10 kbit/s × 0.000125 = 0.00125 MB/s.
How many kilobits per second are in one megabyte per second?
One megabyte per second equals 8,000 kilobits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.000125.
What is 10 kilobits per second in megabytes per second?
10 kbit/s = 0.00125 MB/s.
Is this kbit/s to MB/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.
