Transfer-rate pages keep bits and bytes separate. One byte is eight bits, so Mbps and MB/s are not interchangeable.
For file-transfer estimates, round after converting between bits and bytes, then account for network overhead separately.
How to convert MB/s to KB/s
- Type the MB/s value in the calculator.
- Keep MB/s selected as the from unit and KB/s selected as the to unit.

Formula
KB/s = MB/s x 1,000
Example: 1 MB/s = 1,000 KB/s.

Fixed digital relationships: 1 byte = 8 bits, with decimal SI prefixes for transfer rates.
Common questions
How do I convert MB/s to KB/s?
Enter the MB/s value in the converter, or multiply by the factor shown in the formula. 1 MB/s = 1,000 KB/s.
What should I watch out for?
Network speeds are usually bits per second, while file transfers are often shown in bytes per second.
