Convert Hertz to BPM (Hz to bpm)
1 hertz (Hz) = 60 beats per minute (bpm). 1 bpm = 0.01666666667 Hz. Example: 15 Hz = 15 × 60 = 900 bpm.

How to Convert Hertz to BPM
- 1 Hz = 60 bpm
- 1 bpm = 0.01666666667 Hz
- Example: convert 15 Hz to bpm: 15 Hz = 15 × 60 bpm = 900 bpm
Formula
bpm = Hz × 60
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 Hz = 1 s⁻¹, one cycle per second.
- 1 bpm = 1/60 Hz.
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Hertz definition: hertz; BPM definition: beat per minute.
Worked examples
- A reading of 50 Hz converts to 3000 bpm.
50 Hz × 60 = 3000 bpm - A value of 440 Hz is 26400 bpm.
440 Hz × 60 = 26400 bpm

Where it's used
Hertz are used for mains power (50/60 Hz), while beats per minute appear in heart rate. Both measure frequency and rotational speed, so the conversion is a fixed factor.

Frequently asked questions
How many beats per minute are in 1 hertz?
1 Hz = 60 bpm.
How do I convert hertz to beats per minute?
Multiply the value in Hz by 60. For example, 15 Hz × 60 = 900 bpm.
Is the Hz to bpm conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, so the ratio is exact; its decimal form does not terminate and is shown here to 10 significant figures (more with the precision selector).
