Relationships:

seconds = beats ÷ (tempo/60)

beats = seconds × (tempo/60)

tempo = (beats ÷ seconds) × 60

Tap the beat with the Space bar or the button below. We average the last few intervals and ignore long pauses.

Tips: A “tap” registers only once per press. Long gaps auto-reset. Default averages the last 5 intervals.
