How to convert megabytes per second to megabits per second
Mbit/s = MB/s × 8Multiply the value in megabytes per second by 8. To go the other way, multiply by 0.125 (or divide by 8).
A megabyte per second is larger than a megabit per second: one megabyte per second contains 8 megabits per second.
Worked examples
- 1 megabyte per second1 MB/s × 8 = 8 Mbit/s

- 10 megabytes per second10 MB/s × 8 = 80 Mbit/s
- 20 megabytes per second20 MB/s × 8 = 160 Mbit/s
- 100 megabytes per second100 MB/s × 8 = 800 Mbit/s

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).
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 megabyte per second?
There are 8 megabits per second in one megabyte per second, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert megabytes per second to megabits per second?
Multiply the number of megabytes per second by 8. For example, 10 MB/s × 8 = 80 Mbit/s.
How many megabytes per second are in one megabit per second?
One megabit per second equals 0.125 megabytes per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 8.
What is 10 megabytes per second in megabits per second?
10 MB/s = 80 Mbit/s.
Is this MB/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.
