How this calculator works
Lowercase b means bits; uppercase B means bytes. Eight bits form one byte. All prefixes on this page are decimal powers of 1,000. Protocol overhead and connection efficiency are not included.
The formula
Base amount = value × source factor
Target amount = base amount / target factorA quick example
100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s at full theoretical throughput.
How to use this calculator
- Enter a value using a decimal point.
- Choose the source and target units.
- Read the live result or swap units to reverse the direction.
A few common questions
Which convention does this converter use?
Lowercase b means bits; uppercase B means bytes. Eight bits form one byte. All prefixes on this page are decimal powers of 1,000. Protocol overhead and connection efficiency are not included.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Swap exchanges the units, keeps your input amount and calculates again.
Why is the displayed result rounded?
The calculation uses the full stored factor. Results show up to six decimal places, with scientific notation for very small or large amounts.
