Megabits per Second to Kilobytes per Second

How to convert megabits per second to kilobytes per second

FormulakB/s = Mbit/s × 125

Multiply the value in megabits per second by 125. To go the other way, multiply by 0.008 (or divide by 125).

A megabit per second is larger than a kilobyte per second: one megabit per second contains 125 kilobytes 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).

Kilobyte per second (kB/s)

The kilobyte per second (kB/s) is a unit of data transfer rate in the International System of Units (SI). One kilobyte per second equals 8,000 bits per second (bit/s).

Frequently asked questions

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

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

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

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

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

One kilobyte per second equals 0.008 megabits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 125.

What is 10 megabits per second in kilobytes per second?

10 Mbit/s = 1,250 kB/s.

Is this Mbit/s to kB/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.
