This calculator is as basic as it gets. Let me know if you need a more in depth one.

You're killing me.

Do you need a tire converter as well?

You are welcome. Just remember that those, (and all), calculators are based on mathematical equations and may not be accurate in real world applications. Obviously if you have an auto, your rpm's will be slightly higher due to the friction loss through the plates and slippage in the torque converter. But, they are a handy "estimation" tool to give you a general idea of how gear ratio, tire size and rpm's are all related to each other.

Have fun.
