How to convert megabytes per second to gigabits per second
Gbit/s = MB/s × 0.008Multiply the value in megabytes per second by 0.008. To go the other way, multiply by 125 (or divide by 0.008).
A megabyte per second is smaller than a gigabit per second: it takes 125 megabytes per second to make one gigabit 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).
Gigabit per second (Gbit/s)
One billion bits per second; fibre broadband and Ethernet ports are rated in Gbps. One gigabit per second equals 1,000,000,000 bits per second (bit/s).
Frequently asked questions
How many gigabits per second are in one megabyte per second?
There are 0.008 gigabits per second in one megabyte per second, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert megabytes per second to gigabits per second?
Multiply the number of megabytes per second by 0.008. For example, 10 MB/s × 0.008 = 0.08 Gbit/s.
How many megabytes per second are in one gigabit per second?
One gigabit per second equals 125 megabytes per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.008.
What is 10 megabytes per second in gigabits per second?
10 MB/s = 0.08 Gbit/s.
Is this MB/s to Gbit/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.
