In order to calculate the engine RPM based on ring gear and pinion gear ratio, speed and tire height, this calculator makes the following assumptions:

  • You may not be sure of the type of transmission you are currently using. The results will then be:
    • Automatic transmission in drive
    • Automatic transmission in overdrive
    • 3 speed (manual transmission) in last (3rd) gear
    • 5 speed or higher manual transmission in last gear
      • The ratios used for the transmissions are 0.70 for the automatic and 0.80 for the manual
  • You know the ring gear and pinion gear ratio; see the Gear Ratio Calculator to determine your ratio
  • You know the tire height in inches; see the Tire Height Calculator to determine your tire height
  • The speed will be the vehicle speed, measured in miles per hour (MPH)
