How to convert bit per second to byte per second

Enter your data transfer rate in bit per second and see the result in byte per second instantly. Key reference points: a 100 Mbps connection downloads at about 12.5 MB/s, a 1 Gbps fiber line transfers 125 MB/s, and the difference between megabits (Mb) and megabytes (MB) is a factor of 8.

Converting bits per second to bytes per second resolves the common confusion between bit-based network speeds and byte-based file transfer rates. Dividing bps by 8 gives the byte per second equivalent.

Frequently asked questions

1 bit per second equals 0.125 byte per second.

Multiply by 0.125. For example, 5 bps = 0.625 B/s.

ISPs use bits per second because the numbers appear larger, while operating systems display file transfers in bytes per second. A 100 Mbps plan delivers about 12.5 MB/s actual download speed.

1 byte per second equals 8 bit per second.

100 bit per second equals 12.5 byte per second.
