To convert gigabits per second to bytes per second, divide by 0.000000008 (or multiply by 125,000,000). This conversion accounts for the 8:1 relationship between bits and bytes—network speeds are measured in bits, while file sizes use bytes.
Gbps is a bit-based bandwidth commonly used for Fiber internet, enterprise networks, data center connections, 10GbE. When you see your ISP advertise speeds in Gbps, this is the raw network bandwidth.
B/s is what you actually experience when downloading files. Your browser, torrent client, or download manager shows speeds in B/s because that's how fast data is being written to your storage. Related: Gigabits Per Second to Yottabits Per Second.
1 Gbps = 125,000,000 B/s — which means there are 125,000,000bytes per second in every gigabit per second.
Gbps to B/s transfer rate: 1 gigabit per second equals 125,000,000bytes per second — the standard bandwidth conversion rate used by this data transfer calculator.

Gbps to B/s Conversion Formula
Here's the exact Gbps to B/s formula in copy-paste-ready form — multiply by 125,000,000 to go from gigabits per second to bytes per second, or by 0.000000008 to reverse it — followed by a quick-reference chart of the same rate conversion.
// Convert Gbps to B/s
B/s = Gbps × 125,000,000
// Reverse: Convert B/s to Gbps
Gbps = B/s × 0.000000008
Gigabit Per Second to Byte Per Second Conversion Examples
10 Gbps = 1,250,000,000 B/s
50 Gbps = 6,250,000,000 B/s
100 Gbps = 12,500,000,000 B/s
500 Gbps = 62,500,000,000 B/s
1,000 Gbps = 125,000,000,000 B/s
Most data transfer rate units step by powers of ten: moving up the scale (bps → Kbps → Mbps → Gbps and beyond) means multiply by 1000, moving down means divide by 1000 — usually just a matter of shifting the decimal point. What's actually being counted underneath is bits: the binary digits, 0s and 1s, that make up every network signal.
What Is Gigabit Per Second (Gbps)? Definition and Uses
A gigabit per second is 1,000 megabits per second. Used for fiber internet and enterprise networking.
The gigabit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Like the units used to measure file size, it's one of several data measurement units that scale using either decimal multiples of 1,000 (SI) or binary steps of 1,024 (IEC).
Common uses: Fiber internet, enterprise networks, data center connections, 10GbE See also: Gigabits Per Second to Kilobytes Per Second.
1 Gbps = 1 × 10⁹ bits per second .
The gigabit per second can be abbreviated as Gbps; for example, 1 gigabit per second can be written as 1 Gbps.
Don't confuse Gbps with GB/s (Gigabyte Per Second) — capitalization matters here. Gbps measures bits, GB/s measures bytes, and since 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 Gbps works out to just 0.125 GB/s using the same numeral.

SI Decimal Prefixes: How Gbps to B/s Is Calculated
Both gigabits per second and bytes per second are SI decimal units, so every prefix step is exactly 1,000 and 1 Gbps = 125,000,000 B/s. This is the convention behind advertised link speeds and drive specifications. Because one unit counts bits and the other bytes, the factor also includes a factor of 8.
| Unit | Standard | Prefix step | 1 unit equals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gigabit Per Second (Gbps) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 1,000,000,000 bps |
| Byte Per Second (B/s) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 8 bps |

How many gigabits per second are in 1 byte per second?
1 B/s = 0.000000008 Gbps
1 Byte Per Second (B/s) equals 0.000000008 Gigabits Per Second.
-
How do I convert gigabits per second to bytes per second?
Gbps × 125,000,000 = B/s
Multiply the gigabit per second value by 125,000,000 to get bytes per second. For example, 10 Gbps = 1,250,000,000 B/s. To convert back (vice versa), multiply bytes per second by 0.000000008.
-
What is the difference between gigabits per second and bytes per second?
Gbps measures network bandwidth in bits per second, while B/s measures actual transfer throughput in bytes per second. Divide bits by 8 to get bytes.
-
Does Gbps to B/s use SI decimal or binary prefixes?
Base 10 (SI): 1,000 per step
Both gigabits per second and bytes per second are SI decimal (base 10) units, so each prefix step is exactly 1,000, giving 1 Gbps = 125,000,000 B/s. Because one unit counts bits and the other bytes, the factor also includes a factor of 8. The binary (IEC) versions count in base 2 steps of 1,024 instead.
-
What is Gigabit Per Second (Gbps) commonly used for?
Common uses of the gigabit per second (Gbps) include: Fiber internet, enterprise networks, data center connections, 10GbE.
