Power-to-Weight Ratio Calculator

Find power-to-weight ratio.

Power-to-weight (W/kg) 100

Power-to-weight (hp/tonne) 134.1

Formula: ratio = power ÷ mass

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Power = 150,000 W

3. Mass = 1,500

5. Power-to-weight = Power / Mass = 150,000 / 1,500 = 100W/kg

6. Power-to-weight = 134.1hp/tonne
