Pulse pressure calculator

Enter the two numbers from a cuff reading. Pulse pressure is the difference between them — exact arithmetic, with no estimation involved.

pulse pressure = systolic − diastolic

Whole numbers, 60 to 300 mm Hg

Whole numbers, 30 to 200 mm Hg

No account and no sign-up. The two numbers exist in this tab and are gone when you close it.

What this number is

Pulse pressure is the gap between the two numbers a cuff reports. It is arithmetic on one reading, and one reading does not describe a person — blood pressure varies through the day and between measurements.

The main calculator also shows where a reading falls in the published classification table, and the methodology page states every formula this site uses.
