Enter the total beats per minute and select a tempo into the calculator to determine the total milliseconds (ms). This calculator can also determine the bpm if given the ms and tempo.

BPM to MS Formula

The following formula is used to convert beats per minute to milliseconds.

ms = 60,000 / BPM * T
  • Where ms is milliseconds
  • BPM is beats per minute
  • T is the tempo (i.e. 1/4 note, 1/8 note, etc.)

To calculate ms from bpm, divide 60,000 by the bpm, then multiply the result by the temp.

BPM to MS Definition
