WHP to HP and BHP Calculator

Calculate Engine HP and Brake HP from WHP



Formula

To calculate the Engine Horsepower (HP) and Brake Horsepower (BHP) from Wheel Horsepower (WHP):

\[ HP = \frac{WHP}{1 - \text{Drive Loss}} \]

\[ BHP = HP \]

Where:

What is Wheel Horsepower (WHP)?

Wheel Horsepower (WHP) measures the power output of an engine as measured at the wheels of a vehicle. This value accounts for the losses in power that occur as the engine power is transferred through the drivetrain to the wheels. It is a more accurate representation of the actual power that is delivered to the road.

Example Calculations

Here are the calculations for various WHP values:
