Mb per Second to bps Converter

Convert megabytes per second (MB/s) to bits per second (bit/s). 1 megabyte per second = 8,000,000 bits per second (exact)

1 megabyte per second = 8,000,000 bits per second

How to convert megabytes per second to bits per second

Formulabit/s = MB/s × 8,000,000

Multiply the value in megabytes per second by 8,000,000. To go the other way, multiply by 1.25×10⁻⁷ (or divide by 8,000,000).

A megabyte per second is larger than a bit per second: one megabyte per second contains 8,000,000 bits per second.

About the units

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).

Bit per second (bit/s)

The bit per second (bit/s) is a unit of data transfer rate.

Frequently asked questions

How many bits per second are in one megabyte per second?

There are 8,000,000 bits per second in one megabyte per second, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert megabytes per second to bits per second?

Multiply the number of megabytes per second by 8,000,000. For example, 10 MB/s × 8,000,000 = 80,000,000 bit/s.

How many megabytes per second are in one bit per second?

One bit per second equals 1.25×10⁻⁷ megabytes per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 8,000,000.

What is 10 megabytes per second in bits per second?

10 MB/s = 80,000,000 bit/s.

Is this MB/s to bit/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.
