How to calculate torque from force and lever arm
This calculator finds torque from force and lever arm length, assuming the force is applied perpendicular to the lever arm.
How the calculation works
Torque = Force × Lever arm length.
Example
50 N of force applied at a 0.3m lever arm: 50×0.3 = 15 N·m.
Frequently asked questions

Calculate a result above and this guide will help you interpret it using this calculator's own formula and explanation.
Pro Tips for Torque From Force And Lever Arm
- This assumes force is applied perpendicular to the lever arm — for force applied at an angle, multiply by sin(angle) as well for the accurate torque.
- A longer lever arm produces more torque for the same applied force, which is the principle behind using a longer wrench for more leverage.
Common Torque From Force And Lever Arm Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying this formula to a non-perpendicular force without the sin(angle) adjustment, which would overstate the actual torque produced.
