Kilobytes Per Second to Bits Per Second

Convert kilobytes per second (kB/s) to bits per second (bps). Type in either box; the other updates as you go.

⇄

1 kB/s = 8,000 bps

1 kilobyte per second equals8,000 bps
1 bit per second equals0.000125 kB/s
Formulabps = kB/s × 8,000

How to convert kilobytes per second to bits per second

To convert kilobytes per second to bits per second, multiply the number of kilobytes per second by 8,000.

bps = kB/s × 8,000

Example

Convert 5 kilobytes per second to bits per second:

5 kB/s × 8,000 = 40,000 bps
