How to convert kilobits per second to megabits per second
Mbit/s = kbit/s × 0.001Multiply the value in kilobits per second by 0.001. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000 (or divide by 0.001).
A kilobit per second is smaller than a megabit per second: it takes 1,000 kilobits per second to make one megabit per second.
Worked examples
- 1 kilobit per second1 kbit/s × 0.001 = 0.001 Mbit/s
- 5 kilobits per second5 kbit/s × 0.001 = 0.005 Mbit/s
- 10 kilobits per second10 kbit/s × 0.001 = 0.01 Mbit/s
- 20 kilobits per second20 kbit/s × 0.001 = 0.02 Mbit/s
- 100 kilobits per second100 kbit/s × 0.001 = 0.1 Mbit/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).
Megabit per second (Mbit/s)
One million bits per second — the standard unit for broadband and Wi-Fi speeds. One megabit per second equals 1,000,000 bits per second (bit/s).
Frequently asked questions
How many megabits per second are in one kilobit per second?
There are 0.001 megabits per second in one kilobit per second, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert kilobits per second to megabits per second?
Multiply the number of kilobits per second by 0.001. For example, 10 kbit/s × 0.001 = 0.01 Mbit/s.
How many kilobits per second are in one megabit per second?
One megabit per second equals 1,000 kilobits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.001.
What is 10 kilobits per second in megabits per second?
10 kbit/s = 0.01 Mbit/s.
Is this kbit/s to Mbit/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.
