Data Rate Converter (Mbps, MB/s, Gbps) by TheCalcTools

How the Data Rate Converter (Mbps, MB/s, Gbps) works

Enter a value and pick its unit.

The calculator converts it to bits per second.

Dividing by each unit’s size gives the other values. One byte is 8 bits.

The formula

MB/s = Mbit/s ÷ 81 Gbit/s = 1,000 Mbit/s (decimal prefixes)

Worked example

Using the default values shown in the calculator:

Value100
FromMbit/s
  1. 100 Mbit/s = 100,000 kbit/s.
  2. Dividing by 8 gives 12.50 MB/s.
  3. In gigabits that is 0.1000 Gbit/s.

Result:

kbit/s100,000.00
Mbit/s100.00
Gbit/s0.1000
kB/s12,500.00
MB/s12.50
GB/s0.0125

Frequently asked questions

Is Mbps the same as MBps?

No. Mbps (or Mbit/s) is megabits per second, while MB/s is megabytes per second. A byte has 8 bits, so 100 Mbps is 12.5 MB/s.

Do these use 1000 or 1024?

Network speeds use decimal (1000-based) prefixes, which is what this calculator uses.
