Requests per Second
Free Requests per Second calculator with clear step-by-step results.
About Requests per Second
Throughput per second and the theoretical capacity from concurrency and latency.
Formula
Formula
RPS = requests ÷ 60; capacity = concurrency ÷ latency
Worked example
With the default values below, Requests per Second returns Requests per Second of 2,000.0. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 3 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 1 decimal place, 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.
