Wheel Torque Calculator
Calculate wheel torque from engine torque, gear ratios, and tire size. Understand how gearing affects torque delivery to the wheels.
Step 1: Vehicle Details
Understanding Wheel Torque
Wheel torque is calculated by multiplying engine torque by the gear ratio and final drive ratio. This represents the actual torque delivered to the wheels, which determines acceleration and pulling power.
Step 2: Additional Options
About Wheel Torque
Higher wheel torque results in better acceleration and pulling power. Lower gears multiply torque more than higher gears, which is why vehicles accelerate faster in lower gears. The final drive ratio further multiplies the torque before it reaches the wheels.

Torque Calculation Breakdown
Wheel Torque Formula
Wheel Torque = Engine Torque × Gear Ratio × Final Drive Ratio
To calculate wheel torque, multiply the engine torque by the selected gear ratio and then by the final drive ratio. For example: 300 lb-ft × 1.8 × 3.7 = 1998 lb-ft of wheel torque.
