Kilobits per Second
80 kbit/s
Conversion factor
1 kB/s = 8 kbit/s
Value in bit per second (internal base unit)
80,000 bit/s
Reverse conversion check
80 kbit/s = 10 kB/s
Rounded for everyday use
80 kbit/s
What this calculator does
Converts a measurement given in kilobyte per seconds into kilobit per seconds using the defined conversion factor.
What your result means
The same quantity expressed in kbit/s instead of kB/s. Nothing about the measurement itself changes.
Formula and working
kbit/s = kB/s × 8
- 1
Start with your value
10 kB/s
- 2
Convert to bit per second
10 × 8,000 = 80,000 bit/s
- 3
Convert into kilobits per second
80,000 ÷ 1,000 = 80 kbit/s
- 4
Result
10 kB/s = 80 kbit/s
Frequently asked questions
Symbols and assumptions
- kB/s
- Input unit — kilobyte per second
- kbit/s
- Output unit — kilobit per second
- bit/s
- Base unit used internally for data transfer rate
- • Both units measure data transfer rate, so the physical quantity is unchanged by the conversion.
- • The relationship is exactly linear: 1 kB/s = 8 kbit/s.
- • Values are converted through the SI base unit for this quantity rather than pair by pair.
Sources and review

- • A unit conversion changes how a number is expressed, not how it was measured — the answer can never be more accurate than the value entered.
- • Displayed figures are rounded for readability; the full stored precision of the kbit/s value is used in every onward calculation.
