To convert megabits per second to gigabytes per second, divide by 8,000 (or multiply by 0.000125). This conversion accounts for the 8:1 relationship between bits and bytes—network speeds are measured in bits, while file sizes use bytes.
Mbps is a bit-based bandwidth commonly used for Home internet speeds, WiFi connections, streaming video quality. When you see your ISP advertise speeds in Mbps, this is the raw network bandwidth.
GB/s is what you actually experience when downloading files. Your browser, torrent client, or download manager shows speeds in GB/s because that's how fast data is being written to your storage. Related: Megabits Per Second to Terabytes Per Second.
1 Mbps = 0.000125 GB/s — or equivalently, 1 GB/s = 8,000Mbps.
Mbps to GB/s transfer rate: 1 megabit per second equals 0.000125gigabytes per second — the standard bandwidth conversion rate used by this data transfer calculator.

Mbps to GB/s Conversion Formula
Here's the exact Mbps to GB/s formula in copy-paste-ready form — multiply by 0.000125 to go from megabits per second to gigabytes per second, or by 8,000 to reverse it — followed by a quick-reference chart of the same rate conversion.
// Convert Mbps to GB/s
GB/s = Mbps × 0.000125
// Reverse: Convert GB/s to Mbps
Mbps = GB/s × 8,000
Megabit Per Second to Gigabyte Per Second Conversion Examples
10 Mbps = 0.00125 GB/s
50 Mbps = 0.00625 GB/s
100 Mbps = 0.0125 GB/s
500 Mbps = 0.0625 GB/s
1,000 Mbps = 0.125 GB/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 Megabit Per Second (Mbps)? Definition and Uses
A megabit per second is 1,000,000 bits per second. The standard unit for home internet speeds.
The megabit 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: Home internet speeds, WiFi connections, streaming video quality See also: Megabits Per Second to Megabytes Per Second.
1 Mbps = 1 × 10⁶ bits per second .
The megabit per second can be abbreviated as Mbps; for example, 1 megabit per second can be written as 1 Mbps.
Don't confuse Mbps with MB/s (Megabyte Per Second) — capitalization matters here. Mbps measures bits, MB/s measures bytes, and since 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 Mbps works out to just 0.125 MB/s using the same numeral.

SI Decimal Prefixes: How Mbps to GB/s Is Calculated
Both megabits per second and gigabytes per second are SI decimal units, so every prefix step is exactly 1,000 and 1 Mbps = 0.000125 GB/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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Megabit Per Second (Mbps) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 1,000,000 bps |
| Gigabyte Per Second (GB/s) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 8,000,000,000 bps |

6 questions Quick answers on converting megabits per second to gigabytes per second, using the same factors as the converter above.
-
How many gigabytes per second are in 1 megabit per second?
1 Mbps = 0.000125 GB/s
1 Megabit Per Second (Mbps) equals 0.000125 Gigabytes Per Second.
-
How many megabits per second are in 1 gigabyte per second?
1 GB/s = 8,000 Mbps
1 Gigabyte Per Second (GB/s) equals 8,000 Megabits Per Second.
-
How do I convert megabits per second to gigabytes per second?
Mbps × 0.000125 = GB/s
Multiply the megabit per second value by 0.000125 to get gigabytes per second. For example, 10 Mbps = 0.00125 GB/s. To convert back (vice versa), multiply gigabytes per second by 8,000.
-
What is the difference between megabits per second and gigabytes per second?
Mbps measures network bandwidth in bits per second, while GB/s measures actual transfer throughput in bytes per second. Divide bits by 8 to get bytes.
-
Does Mbps to GB/s use SI decimal or binary prefixes?
Base 10 (SI): 1,000 per step
Both megabits per second and gigabytes per second are SI decimal (base 10) units, so each prefix step is exactly 1,000, giving 1 Mbps = 0.000125 GB/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 Megabit Per Second (Mbps) commonly used for?
Common uses of the megabit per second (Mbps) include: Home internet speeds, WiFi connections, streaming video quality.
