Kilobyte per second to bit per second Conversion
1 kilobyte per second (kB/s) is equal to 8000 bit per second (bit/s).
1 kB/s = 8000 bit/s
or
1 bit/s = 0.000125 kB/s
Formula
To convert a data transfer rate from kilobyte per second (kB/s) to bit per second (bit/s), multiply the data transfer rate in kilobyte per second by 8000
d(bit/s) = d(kB/s) × 8000
Examples:
Convert 250 kilobyte per second to bit per second:
d(bit/s) = 250kB/s × 8000 = 2000000 bit/s

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert kilobyte per second to bit per second?
Multiply the value in kilobyte per second by 8000 to get the result in bit per second. For example, 5 kB/s × 8000 = 40000 bit/s.
How many bit per second are in 1 kilobyte per second?
1 kilobyte per second (kB/s) is equal to 8000 bit per second (bit/s).
How do I convert bit per second back to kilobyte per second?
Use the inverse operation: divide the value in bit per second by 8000 to get the result in kilobyte per second.
How accurate is the kilobyte per second to bit per second conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 8000 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
