How to convert kilobytes per second to megabits per second
Mbit/s = kB/s × 0.008Multiply the value in kilobytes per second by 0.008. To go the other way, multiply by 125 (or divide by 0.008).
A kilobyte per second is smaller than a megabit per second: it takes 125 kilobytes per second to make one megabit per second.
Worked examples
- 1 kilobyte per second1 kB/s × 0.008 = 0.008 Mbit/s

- 10 kilobytes per second10 kB/s × 0.008 = 0.08 Mbit/s
- 20 kilobytes per second20 kB/s × 0.008 = 0.16 Mbit/s
- 100 kilobytes per second100 kB/s × 0.008 = 0.8 Mbit/s

About the units
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).
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 kilobyte per second?
There are 0.008 megabits per second in one kilobyte per second, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert kilobytes per second to megabits per second?
Multiply the number of kilobytes per second by 0.008. For example, 10 kB/s × 0.008 = 0.08 Mbit/s.
How many kilobytes per second are in one megabit per second?
One megabit per second equals 125 kilobytes per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.008.
What is 10 kilobytes per second in megabits per second?
10 kB/s = 0.08 Mbit/s.
Is this kB/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.
