Refresh Rate Frame Time Render Budget Calculator
Convert a monitor's refresh rate (Hz) into the frame-time render budget in milliseconds, and see multi-frame budgets.
Your inputs
Change any value to update the result instantly.
Frame time budget
6.9444 ms
Budget for 1 frame(s)
6.9444 ms
60 Hz reference frame time
16.6667 ms
Frames per second
144 fps
Every rendered frame — including game logic, GPU work, and driver overhead — must fit inside this budget to avoid dropped frames.
Formula and working
Frame time (ms) = 1000 ÷ refresh rate (Hz)
- 1
Collect the inputs
Refresh rate (Hz) = 144; Frames to budget for = 1
- 2
Apply the formula
Frame time (ms) = 1000 ÷ refresh rate (Hz)
- 3
Result
Frame time budget = 6.9444 ms
