How to Use the HP to WHP Calculator

Step 1:

Start by entering the engine horsepower (HP) in the designated input field. This is the power that the engine generates before any losses due to the vehicle’s drivetrain.

Step 2:

Select the type of drivetrain your vehicle uses from the dropdown menu. This includes options for Front Wheel Drive (FWD), Rear Wheel Drive (RWD), and All Wheel Drive (AWD). Each drivetrain type has a different loss factor, which affects the final calculation.

Step 3:

Click on the ‘Calculate WHP’ button. The calculator will process the information you provided and compute the wheel horsepower (WHP).

Step 4:

Review the results displayed on the screen. The calculator will show you the calculated wheel horsepower, along with a brief explanation of how the result was derived. This explanation includes the formula used and an example calculation to clarify how you can achieve the same results manually.
