Bits per second to megabits per second
Type a value in bits per second to see it in megabits per second straight away, or type in the second box to convert back.

How to use it
- Type the value in the bits per second box.
- Read the result in megabits per second as you type, and pick the precision you need.
- Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.
How it is calculated
Mbps = bps × 0.000001
Multiply the value in bits per second by 0.000001 to get megabits per second.
Example
To convert 25 bps to megabits per second: 25 × 0.000001 = 0.000025 Mbps.
Conversion table

| 3 | 0.000003 |
| 5 | 0.000005 |
| 10 | 0.00001 |
| 20 | 0.00002 |
| 25 | 0.000025 |
| 50 | 0.00005 |
| 100 | 0.0001 |
| 250 | 0.00025 |
| 500 | 0.0005 |
| 1,000 | 0.001 |
About the units
- Bit per second
- The basic unit of data transfer rate: one bit transferred every second.
- Megabit per second
- Equal to exactly 10^6 bits per second, the usual unit in internet and fiber plan adverts.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many megabits per second are in one bit per second?
1 bps = 0.000001 Mbps exactly.
How do I convert bits per second to megabits per second?
Use Mbps = bps × 0.000001. For example, 25 bps = 0.000025 Mbps.
How many bits per second are in one megabit per second?
1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bps.
Why is my download slower than my plan speed?
Plans are sold in megabits per second while download tools show megabytes per second, so divide by 8: a 100 Mbps plan tops out at 12.5 MB/s in theory. Network protocol overhead takes a little more.
How long does a 1 GB file take at 100 Mbps?
1 GB is 8000 megabits, and 8000 ÷ 100 = 80 seconds under ideal conditions. Real transfers are usually a little slower.
