Altitude Boiling Point Calculator | Water Temperature at Elevation

Calculate water's boiling point at any altitude. Free tool converts elevation to exact temperature in Celsius & Fahrenheit for cooking, lab work, brewing & more.

Altitude-based Boiling Point Calculator

Water boils at different temperatures as you climb higher. At sea level, it's 100°C (212°F), but in Denver at 1,600 meters, it drops to 95°C (203°F)—making pasta take forever and affecting lab work. Enter your elevation below to get the exact boiling temperature for your location.

Enter Altitude

Enter your elevation above sea level (0 or higher). Example: 1500 meters or 5000 feet.

Boiling Point vs. Altitude

Calculation Formula

The boiling point of water decreases by approximately 0.33°C for every 100 meters increase in altitude. The formula used is:

Boiling Point (°C) = 100 - (altitude in meters × 0.0033)

To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, we use the standard conversion formula:

Boiling Point (°F) = (Boiling Point in °C × 9/5) + 32
