1 B/s = 8 bit/s
| Unit | Value |
|---|---|
| Bit per second bit/s | 8 |
| Kilobit per second kbit/s | 0.008 |
| Megabit per second Mbit/s | 0.000008 |
| Gigabit per second Gbit/s | 0.000000008 |
| Byte per second B/s | 1 |
| Kilobyte per second kB/s | 0.001 |
| Megabyte per second MB/s | 0.000001 |
| Mebibyte per second MiB/s | 0.0000009537 |
| Gigabyte per second GB/s | 0.000000001 |
Formula
Use this relationship for a direct conversion:
2 B/s = 16 bit/s.
These are raw rates; protocol overhead, encoding, congestion, and storage performance affect observed transfer time.

Use the formula bit/s = B/s x 8. 1 byte per second (B/s) equals 8 bit per second (bit/s).
Both unit definitions use exact factors. Only the displayed decimal may be rounded.
