How to convert megabits per second to kilobits per second
kbit/s = Mbit/s × 1,000Multiply the value in megabits per second by 1,000. To go the other way, multiply by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000).
A megabit per second is larger than a kilobit per second: one megabit per second contains 1,000 kilobits 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).
Kilobit per second (kbit/s)
1,000 bits per second. Audio streams are measured in kbps (e.g. 320 kbps MP3).
Frequently asked questions
How many kilobits per second are in one megabit per second?
There are 1,000 kilobits per second in one megabit per second, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert megabits per second to kilobits per second?
Multiply the number of megabits per second by 1,000. For example, 10 Mbit/s × 1,000 = 10,000 kbit/s.
How many megabits per second are in one kilobit per second?
One kilobit per second equals 0.001 megabits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1,000.
What is 10 megabits per second in kilobits per second?
10 Mbit/s = 10,000 kbit/s.
Is this Mbit/s to kbit/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.
