How to convert kilobits per second to megabytes per second

A byte per second is eight bits per second. Decimal Mbps and MB/s use powers of 1000; MiB/s uses a binary prefix. These are equivalent nominal rates; protocol overhead and network conditions affect achieved file-transfer speed.

Formula
MB/s = kbit/s × 0.000125

One kilobit per second is 0.000125 megabytes per second, so a single multiplication converts any value.

Example
0.00125 MB/s = 10 × 0.000125

Sources and precision

Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
