Tap Tempo BPM Counter

Find the BPM of any song by tapping along — tap a key or the button on each beat to see beats per minute instantly, plus delay times in milliseconds.

How to use

  1. 1Play the song and tap the button (or any key) on each beat.
  2. 2After a few taps the BPM settles. It resets after 2 seconds without a tap.

How it's calculated

BPM = 60,000 ÷ the average milliseconds between taps. Quarter-note delay (ms) = 60,000 ÷ BPM.

Frequently asked questions

How many taps do I need?

About 8–16 taps gives a stable reading.

Why does the BPM jump around?

Uneven tapping — keep tapping and it averages out.

What are the delay times for?

Producers set echo/delay effects to the song's tempo using these millisecond values.
