Degrees To Radians Calculator

Work out degrees to radians instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Degrees To Radians Calculator

A full circle is 360° or 2π radians, so one degree equals π/180 radians. Multiplying by π/180 converts degrees to radians; multiplying by 180/π reverses it.

Formula

Degrees to radians

radians = degrees × π / 180

Worked example

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 8 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 90° in radians?

90 × π/180 = π/2 ≈ 1.570796 radians.

Why do calculus formulas need radians?

The derivative of sin x is cos x only when x is in radians; in degrees an extra factor of π/180 appears.
