How to convert megabits per second to gigabits per second
To convert megabits per second (Mbps) to gigabits per second (Gbps), multiply the value in megabits per second by 0.001.
Gbps = Mbps × 0.001
Example: 5 Mbps = 0.005 Gbps.
You can also type 5 Mbps to Gbps into the smart calculator, or mix units: 1 Mbps + 1 Gbps.

About the units
Megabit per second (Mbps)
One million bits per second, the usual unit for broadband and Wi-Fi speeds.
Gigabit per second (Gbps)
A unit of bandwidth.
Network speeds are sold in bits per second, which are always decimal (1 Mbps = 1,000 kbps). Download dialogs show bytes per second, which some apps count in decimal (1 MB/s = 1,000 KB/s) and others in binary (1 MB/s = 1,024 KB/s). Because a byte is 8 bits, a 100 Mbps connection tops out around 12.5 MB/s (11.9 binary MB/s) before protocol overhead.
Questions and answers
How many gigabits per second are in a megabit per second?
One megabit per second (Mbps) equals 0.001 gigabits per second (Gbps).
How do I convert megabits per second to gigabits per second?
To convert megabits per second to gigabits per second, multiply the value in megabits per second by 0.001. The formula is Gbps = Mbps × 0.001. For example, 5 Mbps = 0.005 Gbps.
What is 5 Mbps in Gbps?
5 megabits per second is 0.005 gigabits per second.
Which is bigger, a megabit per second or a gigabit per second?
A gigabit per second is bigger: 1 Gbps = 1,000 Mbps.
Why is my download speed lower than my internet plan?
Plans are sold in megabits per second (Mbps) and downloads show megabytes per second (MB/s). A byte is 8 bits, so 100 Mbps is at most 12.5 MB/s, or 11.92 MB/s if your download manager counts in binary, and protocol overhead takes a little more.
Is 1 MB/s 1,000 KB/s or 1,024 KB/s?
It depends on the app. Decimal counting gives 1 MB/s = 1,000 KB/s; binary counting (common in Windows tools and some download managers) gives 1,024 KB/s. Use the Decimal / Binary switch to match your app. Bit rates like Mbps are always decimal.
Does this Mbps to Gbps converter work offline?
Yes. ConvertEasy is a progressive web app: after your first visit it keeps working with no connection, and you can install it to your home screen from the browser menu.
