MB/s to Mbps Conversion Calculator

Formula

To convert megabytes per second (MB/s) to megabits per second (Mbps):

$\text{Mbps} = 8 \times \text{MB/s}$

Where:

$\text{Mbps}$ is megabits per second
$\text{MB/s}$ is megabytes per second

What is Mbps?

Mbps, short for megabits per second, is a unit of measure of data transfer per unit of time. Mbps should not be confused with MB/s which is megabytes per second, not megabits. 1 byte is equal to 8 bits.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Megabytes per Second ( $\text{MB/s}$ ) = 10

Using the formula:

$\text{Mbps} = 8 \times 10 = 80$

The Megabits per Second is 80 Mbps.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Megabytes per Second ( $\text{MB/s}$ ) = 25

Using the formula:

$\text{Mbps} = 8 \times 25 = 200$

The Megabits per Second is 200 Mbps.
