Data Rate Units & Calculator
Network rates often use bits per second. File-transfer rates may use bytes per second. This converter does not include protocol overhead.
Detailed explanation & worked examples
Conversion method
Base value = input × source factor + source offset. Output = (base value − target offset) ÷ target factor. Only units from this family can be converted together.
Worked example
For the first two units below: 1 Bits per second becomes 0.00100000 Kilobits per second.
| Unit | Multiplier | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Bits per second | 1 | 0 |
| Kilobits per second | 1000 | 0 |
| Megabits per second | 1000000 | 0 |
| Gigabits per second | 1000000000 | 0 |
| Bytes per second | 8 | 0 |
| Megabytes per second | 8000000 | 0 |
