Audio Bitrate Calculator
Calculate average audio bitrate from file size and audio duration.
How to use Audio Bitrate Calculator
1. Enter File Size, File Size Unit, Duration. 2. Ideal constant payload bitrate; 8 bits = 1 byte. KB/MB/GB/TB use decimal powers of 1000; KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB use powers of 1024. Output byte units are decimal. Latency, protocol overhead, variable bitrate and device limits are excluded; this does not measure a connection or transfer a file. 3. Select Calculate or press Enter. 4. Select Copy result to copy the answer, or Reset to clear the form and result.
Why use this tool?
Ideal constant payload bitrate; 8 bits = 1 byte. KB/MB/GB/TB use decimal powers of 1000; KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB use powers of 1024. Output byte units are decimal. Latency, protocol overhead, variable bitrate and device limits are excluded; this does not measure a connection or transfer a file.
How the calculation works
Average bitrate = file bytes × 8 ÷ seconds. Ideal constant payload bitrate; 8 bits = 1 byte. KB/MB/GB/TB use decimal powers of 1000; KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB use powers of 1024. Output byte units are decimal. Latency, protocol overhead, variable bitrate and device limits are excluded; this does not measure a connection or transfer a file. Counts and dimensions use the declared rounding convention; other numbers display up to three decimal places where applicable. Nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. Durations round to the nearest second; nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. File-size output units are decimal. Changing an input label does not convert filled values.
Example
Worked example: File Size = 960; File Size Unit = "KB"; Duration = "1 min". Result: 128 kbps (0.128 Mbps).
Practical tip
Check the input labels and assumptions against the audio bitrate task before reusing the number.
