About these units

The megabit per second (Mbps) is a metric unit of data transfer rate, equal to 1,000,000 bits per second.

The kilobit per second (kbps) is a metric unit of data transfer rate, equal to 1,000 bits per second.

Going the other way, 1 kilobit per second = 0.001 megabits per second. Internet plans are sold in megabits per second, but download managers report megabytes per second. There are 8 bits in a byte, so a 100 Mbps line tops out around 12.5 MB/s. This converter makes that arithmetic instant.
