Horsepower, Torque and RPM Calculator

Leave exactly one field blank, then solve

Solve for horsepower, torque, or RPM when you know the other two values using the classic engine equation. Horsepower equals torque in pound feet times engine speed in RPM divided by 5252, a constant that comes from the definition of one horsepower. This is why dyno curves for horsepower and torque always cross at 5252 RPM. Leave any one field blank or enter zero and this calculator fills it in from the other two, so you can find peak horsepower from a torque figure, back out torque from a power rating, or work out the RPM where a given power is produced. It is useful for tuners reading dyno sheets, students, and anyone comparing engines quoted in different terms. The math is exact for pound feet and RPM, and everything runs in your browser.

How to use Horsepower Torque RPM Calculator

  1. Enter any two of horsepower, torque, and RPM.
  2. Leave the value you want blank.
  3. Read the calculated third value.
