Megabits per second to Kilobits per second Converter Mbit/s → kbit/s

1 megabit per second (Mbit/s) = 1000 kilobits per second (kbit/s). Type a value below — the conversion happens instantly, entirely on your device.

From

1 Mbit/s = 1000 kbit/s

Precision

5 megabits per second = 5000 kilobits per second

5 × 1000 = 5000

1 Mbit/s equals 1000 kbit/s, so multiplying by 1000 converts the value. The result describes the exact same quantity — only the measuring stick changes.

How to convert megabits per second to kilobits per second

kilobits per second = megabits per second × 1000 — multiply the megabit per second value by 1000.

Example: 5 Mbit/s = 5000 kbit/s.

To convert the other way: megabits per second = kilobits per second ÷ 1000

Megabits to kilobits multiplies by 1,000: 5 Mbps is 5,000 kbps. This shows up when a stream or codec is rated in kbps (a 5 Mbps video ≈ 5,000 kbps) and you want it in the megabit terms of your connection.

About the units

What is a megabit per second?

A megabit per second is 1,000,000 bits/s — the unit internet plans are sold in ("100 Mbps"). Divide by 8 for megabytes per second.

What is a kilobit per second?

A kilobit per second is 1,000 bits/s. Audio streams and older broadband are quoted in kbps; a 320 kbps MP3, for instance.

Frequently asked questions

How many kilobits per second are in 1 megabit per second?

1 megabit per second (Mbit/s) = 1000 kilobits per second (kbit/s).

What is the formula to convert megabits per second to kilobits per second?

kilobits per second = megabits per second × 1000 — multiply the megabit per second value by 1000.

How do I convert Mbit/s to kbit/s without a calculator?

Multiply by 1000 for a close estimate. Exact factor: 1 Mbit/s = 1000 kbit/s.

Is this Mbit/s-to-kbit/s converter accurate and private?

Yes. It uses the exact internationally defined conversion factors and computes results locally in your browser — your input is never sent to a server, and the page keeps working offline.
