How to convert Kilobyte per second to Kilobit per second

Conversion factor and calculation steps from Kilobyte per second (kB/s) to Kilobit per second (kbit/s).

Conversion logic

Each unit is defined via the base unit (bit per second (bit/s)). The value is first converted to the base unit, then to the selected unit.

1 kB/s = 8000 bit/s

1 kbit/s = 1000 bit/s

1 kB/s × 8000 = 8000 bit/s

8000 bit/s ÷ 1000 = 8 kbit/s
