Bolt Circle Calculator

Compute X/Y coordinates of holes on a pitch circle from center point, PCD, hole count, and start angle. Output is ready for CNC programming and inspection.

Radius (R)

—

Angular spacing

—

Hole # Angle (°) X (mm) Y (mm)

Formula and use

X = Cx + R × cos(θ),  Y = Cy + R × sin(θ)

R = PCD ÷ 2.  Angular spacing = 360° ÷ N holes.  θi = startAngle + (i − 1) × spacing (CCW positive).

Angles are measured from the positive X axis (right), counter-clockwise positive. In CNC G-code, use G17 plane with these absolute coordinates. Verify against your machine's coordinate convention before running a program.
