How to use it
- Type the value in the hertz box.
- Read the result in beats per minute as you type, and pick the precision you need.

How it is calculated
bpm = Hz × 60
Multiply the value in hertz by 60 to get beats per minute.
Example
To convert 25 Hz to beats per minute: 25 × 60 = 1,500 bpm.

About the units
- Hertz
- The hertz is the SI unit of frequency, one cycle per second, equal to the reciprocal second (s⁻¹).
- Beat per minute
- One beat per minute is exactly 1/60 hertz, the unit for musical tempo and heart rate.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many beats per minute are in one hertz?
1 Hz = 60 bpm exactly.
How do I convert hertz to beats per minute?
Use bpm = Hz × 60. For example, 25 Hz = 1,500 bpm.
How many hertz are in one beat per minute?
1 bpm = 0.0166667 Hz.
How many hertz is a 3.5 GHz processor?
3.5 GHz is 3500 MHz or 3.5 billion hertz, so the processor clock ticks 3.5 billion times per second. Clock speed alone does not decide performance; core count and design matter too.
How do I convert BPM to hertz?
Divide beats per minute by 60, so a tempo of 120 BPM is 2 Hz, two beats per second. The same works for heart rate: 72 beats per minute is 1.2 Hz.
