How to use it
- Type the value in the revolutions per minute box.
- Read the result in degrees per second as you type, and pick the precision you need.
- Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.
How it is calculated
°/s = rpm × 6
Multiply the value in revolutions per minute by 6 to get degrees per second.
Example
To convert 25 rpm to degrees per second: 25 × 6 = 150 °/s.

About the units
- Revolution per minute
- Full turns per minute, with each turn 2π radians, so 1 rpm is exactly 2π/60 rad/s (about 0.10472). It is the unit on engine tachometers, drills and washing machines.
- Degree per second
- Turning one degree each second, where a degree is π/180 rad, about 0.0174533 rad/s. It is used for gyroscope sensors and servo motors.
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 degrees per second are in one revolution per minute?
1 rpm = 6 °/s exactly.
How do I convert revolutions per minute to degrees per second?
Use °/s = rpm × 6. For example, 25 rpm = 150 °/s.
How many revolutions per minute are in one degree per second?
1 °/s = 0.166667 rpm.
How do I convert rpm to radians per second?
Multiply the rpm by 2π and divide by 60. For example 3000 rpm is 100π, about 314.16 rad/s.
Is angular speed the same as frequency in hertz?
No. Frequency counts turns per second, while angular speed in rad/s is the frequency times 2π. So a rotation at 1 Hz is 6.2832 rad/s.
