The formula
Mbps = kbps × 0.001
Worked through with a real value: 10 kilobits per second = 0.01 megabits per second.
Going the other way: kbps = Mbps × 1000, so 1 megabit per second = 1000 kilobits per second.
What each unit is
- kilobit per second kbps
- A thousand bits per second, often abbreviated kbps, used for older connections and audio streaming.
- megabit per second Mbps
- A million bits per second. Internet plans are sold in megabits per second while downloads are reported in megabytes per second, and a byte is 8 bits — so a 100 Mbps line downloads at about 12.5 MB/s.
Where these come from
- 1 kilobit per second = 1000 bits per second
- 1 megabit per second = 1000000 bits per second
Every other number on this page is computed from those, and each category is pinned to conversions worked out by hand from the units' primary definitions before it ships.
