🌐 Mbps to Gbps Converter
Translate Mbps to Gbps for network planning, ISP comparisons, and switch port sizing.
Enter any Mbps value to see the corresponding Gbps throughput. The converter also shows the reverse calculation to double-check accuracy.
Use decimal Mbps values. Negative entries are allowed for delta comparisons.

How to Use This Calculator
Enter Mbps
Provide the throughput in megabits per second. The converter multiplies by 0.001.
Review Gbps output
Use the gigabit value to match switch capabilities, fiber uplinks, or ISP offerings.
Confirm reverse conversion
The original Mbps value is shown as a cross-check. Use it to avoid typing mistakes.
Formula
Gbps = Mbps ÷ 1,000
Mbps = Gbps × 1,000
1 gigabit per second equals 1,000 megabits per second in decimal networking units.
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Network equipment often lists throughput in either Mbps or Gbps. Converting between them ensures you match endpoints, switches, and fiber uplinks accurately without mental math, especially when aggregating multiple links or planning upgrades.
The converter supports decimal values and negative deltas, which can represent throughput changes or measurement differences.
Pair it with the Mbps Calculator for download time estimations or the Byte Conversion Calculator to convert file sizes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it use decimal or binary prefixes?
Networking speeds are standardized on decimal prefixes. 1 Gbps is 1,000 Mbps, aligning with network hardware marketing.
Can I convert Gbps to Mbps?
Yes. Divide the Gbps value by 0.001 or use the reverse output shown underneath the conversion.
Are fractional Mbps values supported?
Absolutely. Enter values like 37.5 Mbps to see the precise Gbps equivalent.
Why might I see different numbers in practice?
Real-world throughput can be lower due to protocol overhead (TCP/IP, encryption) or shared bandwidth. This conversion reflects the theoretical rate.
