Kilobits to Bytes Converter
How to convert kilobits to bytes
bytes = kilobits × 125
To convert kilobits to bytes, multiply the number of kilobits by 125.
1 kbit = 125 B
Examples
- 320 kbit × 125 = 40,000 B
- 128 kbit × 125 = 16,000 B
Good to know
A unit of bits, not bytes: 8 bits make 1 byte. Bit units are used for transfer speeds, byte units for file and storage sizes.

Unit definitions
- Kilobit (kbit)
- A kilobit is 1000 bits, equal to 125 bytes. It is used for audio bit rates and slow data links, in kilobits per second (kbps).
- Byte (B)
- A byte is a group of 8 bits and the basic addressable unit of computer memory and storage. One byte can hold one of 256 values.
