Enter the total number of kills and the total time in minutes into the calculator to determine the kills per minute. This calculator helps to evaluate the efficiency or skill level in games where kills are a metric.

Kills Per Minute Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the kills per minute.

KPM = TK / TT

Variables:

  • KPM is the kills per minute
  • TK is the total number of kills
  • TT is the total time in minutes

To calculate kills per minute, divide the total number of kills by the total time in minutes.

What is Kills Per Minute?

Kills per minute (KPM) is a measure of a player’s efficiency and skill in video games where the objective involves eliminating opponents. It is a common metric in first-person shooter (FPS) games, multiplayer online battle arenas (MOBA), and other competitive gaming genres. A higher KPM indicates a player’s ability to secure kills more frequently within a given timeframe, which can be crucial for team victories and individual performance.

How to Calculate Kills Per Minute?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Kills Per Minute.


  1. First, determine the total number of kills (TK).
  2. Next, determine the total time in minutes (TT).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = KPM = TK / TT.
  4. Finally, calculate the Kills Per Minute (KPM).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Total number of kills (TK) = 30 kills

Total time in minutes (TT) = 15 minutes
