Enter scientific pitch notation, such as A4 or C4. Equal temperament is assumed.

A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Enter a note name A–G with optional sharp or flat and an octave.
  2. Choose a reference A4 frequency such as 440 Hz.
  3. Read the equal-temperament frequency and cents comparison.

Equal temperament

The calculation uses f = A4 × 2^(n/12), where n is semitones from A4. Octaves double frequency and a semitone is 100 cents.

Reference pitch

A4 is user-selectable. Cents compare the chosen reference with A440 using 1200 × log₂(reference / 440). This is a tuning comparison, not an audio measurement.
