Megabits per Second to Bytes per Second

How to convert megabits per second to bytes per second

FormulaB/s = Mbit/s × 125,000

Multiply the value in megabits per second by 125,000. To go the other way, multiply by 0.000008 (or divide by 125,000).

A megabit per second is larger than a byte per second: one megabit per second contains 125,000 bytes per second.

About the units

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).

Byte per second (B/s)

The byte per second (B/s) is a unit of data transfer rate. One byte per second equals 8 bits per second (bit/s).

Frequently asked questions

How many bytes per second are in one megabit per second?

There are 125,000 bytes per second in one megabit per second, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert megabits per second to bytes per second?

Multiply the number of megabits per second by 125,000. For example, 10 Mbit/s × 125,000 = 1,250,000 B/s.

How many megabits per second are in one byte per second?

One byte per second equals 0.000008 megabits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 125,000.

What is 10 megabits per second in bytes per second?

10 Mbit/s = 1,250,000 B/s.

Is this Mbit/s to B/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.
