Baud Rate Calculator

Convert between bit rate and baud rate.

Baud rate (Bd) 9,600

Formula: baud = bit rate / bits per symbol

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Bit rate = 9,600 bps

3. Bits per symbol = 1

5. Baud rate = Bit rate x Bits per symbol = 9,600 x 1 = 9,600Bd

Did we solve your problem today?

Baud rate is symbols per second; multiple bits can ride on each symbol.

The math behind it

baud = bit rate / bits per symbol. With 1 bit per symbol, baud equals the bit rate.

9600 bps at 1 bit/symbol is 9600 Bd.

Baud vs bit rate?

They match only when each symbol carries exactly one bit.
