Frequency Converter
Convert repetition frequency among Hz, kHz, MHz, GHz, and rpm using hertz as the reference.
How to use
- Enter the repetition rate and choose the source and target from the Hz-prefix options or rpm.
Capabilities and scope
Compare cycles per second with revolutions per minute as rates of repeated events.
How it works
Hz is the reference; kHz=10³ Hz, MHz=10⁶ Hz, GHz=10⁹ Hz, and 1 rpm=1/60 Hz.
Example
3000 rpm equals 50 Hz.
Useful for
- Convert rotational rpm to revolutions per second
- Compare electronic signal frequencies
- Translate per-minute repetition into per-second frequency
Before you use it
- Converting rpm to linear speed or electrical motor frequency needs extra information such as radius or pole count, which is not modeled.

Frequently asked questions
How many Hz is 60 rpm?
Sixty revolutions per minute is one revolution per second, so 1 Hz.
