Data Rate Converter

Convert bps, Kbps, Mbps, Gbps and byte-per-second units, including decimal SI and binary IEC prefixes with clear bit-versus-byte handling.

How to use

Network rates are usually expressed in bits per second while download software often shows bytes per second. The key relationship is 1 Byte = 8 bits, and decimal SI prefixes differ from binary IEC prefixes.

  1. Enter a transfer-rate value.
  2. Choose source and target units.
  3. Review the converted value, base bit/s rate and common equivalents.

How it is calculated

base bit/s = value × unit factor; 1 Byte = 8 bits

Example

100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s theoretically because 100 million bits/s ÷ 8 = 12.5 million bytes/s.

Important notes

Common Kbps/Mbps/Gbps units here use decimal ×1000 prefixes; Ki/Mi/Gi units use binary ×1024. Converted rates are theoretical and do not subtract protocol overhead or congestion.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Mbps and MB/s?

Mbps is megabits/s and MB/s is megabytes/s; eight bits make one byte.

Are MB/s and MiB/s the same?

No. MB is decimal while MiB is binary.

Is this my real download speed?

It is a theoretical unit conversion; real throughput may be lower.

Is this calculator free?

Yes. It is free to use and requires no account.
