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.
