Convert Baud Rate to Bitrate. Here's the formula and a step-by-step example.
Calculate the actual bitrate from a baud rate and modulation scheme. Baud = symbols/sec; Bitrate = bits/sec.
Bitrate = Baud Rate × Bits per Symbol — The conversion factor is Baud × Bits/Symbol.

Understanding the relationship between Baud Rate & Bits per Symbol and Bitrate.
Converting Baud to bps helps you understand your actual data throughput. ISPs advertise in Mbps but your experience depends on bps.
Many applications and protocols specify bandwidth in bps. Use this converter to match your network capacity to software requirements.
Bitrate = Baud Rate × Bits per Symbol. Apply Baud × Bits/Symbol to any Baud value. For example: 9600 Baud × 1 Baud = 9,600 bps bps.
Memorize the factor: Baud × Bits/Symbol. This lets you do instant conversions in your head whenever you see Baud values.
Common questions about converting Baud to bps.
Baud = symbols per second. bps = bits per second. With multi-level modulation, 1 baud can carry multiple bits.
Depends on modulation: BPSK = 1, QPSK = 2, 16-QAM = 4, 64-QAM = 6, 256-QAM = 8.
Yes! Serial ports (RS-232), modems, UARTs, and RF communications all specify baud rates.
