How to use the Pressure Calculator

The Pressure Calculator works out your pressure in an instant. Enter force and area and the result updates as you type — it is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser so your figures stay private.

  1. Enter the force.
  2. Enter the area.
  3. Read off your pressure — the calculator updates automatically, with no button to press.

Formula

The Pressure Calculator uses the formula:

Pressure = Force ÷ Area

Worked example

For example, with force of 100 N and area of 2 m², the pressure is 50.000.

Inputs used
Force 100 N
Area 2 m²
Results
Pressure 50.000

Key terms explained

Force
A push or pull on an object, equal to mass × acceleration (Newton's second law).
Area
The amount of two-dimensional space a shape covers, measured in square units.

Frequently asked questions

Pressure is force divided by area: P = F ÷ A. A 100 N force on 2 m² gives 50 pascals.

A pascal (Pa) is one newton per square metre, the SI unit of pressure.

The same force concentrated on a smaller area produces higher pressure, which is why sharp blades and pins cut and pierce easily.

This finds pressure from force and area. The pressure converter changes an existing pressure between units like bar and psi.
