Enter the total number of transactions and the time frame in seconds into the calculator to determine the transactions per second (TPS).
Transactions Per Second Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the transactions per second (TPS).
TPS = Total Transactions / Time Frame
Variables:
- TPS is the transactions per second
- Total Transactions is the total number of transactions completed
- Time Frame is the duration in seconds over which the transactions were completed
To calculate TPS, divide the total number of transactions by the time frame in seconds.
What is Transactions Per Second?
Transactions per second (TPS) is a measure of the throughput of a system, representing how many transactions are processed in one second. It is a common metric used to assess the performance of transactional systems such as databases, network servers, and payment processing systems. A higher TPS indicates a system’s ability to handle a larger volume of transactions efficiently.
How to Calculate Transactions Per Second?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Transactions Per Second (TPS).
- First, determine the total number of transactions completed.
- Next, determine the time frame in seconds over which the transactions were completed.
- Use the formula TPS = Total Transactions / Time Frame.
- Finally, calculate the Transactions Per Second (TPS).
- 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 Transactions = 500
Time Frame = 60 seconds
