Enter the total number of samples and the total amount of time (s) into the Sampling Rate Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Sampling Rate.

## Sampling Rate Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Sampling Rate.

SMR = S / T
• Where SMR is the Sampling Rate (samples/second)
• S is the total number of samples
• T is the total amount of time (s)

To calculate sampling rate, divide the total number of samples by the total amount of time.

## How to Calculate Sampling Rate?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Sampling Rate.

Example Problem #1:

1. First, determine the total number of samples.
• The total number of samples is given as: 43.
2. Next, determine the total amount of time (s).
• The total amount of time (s) is provided as: 10.
3. Finally, calculate the Sampling Rate using the equation above:

SMR = #S / T

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

SMR = 43 / 10 = 4.3 (samples/second)

Example Problem #2:

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

total number of samples = 50

total amount of time (s) = 5
