About PHP-FPM Calculator

This calculator estimates safe PHP-FPM pool settings using a buffer and safety factor so that your workers stay within available memory. Adjust the inputs to match your environment and review warnings before applying changes.

Formula: Usable RAM = (Total RAM - Reserved RAM) × (1 - buffer%). Max Children = floor(Usable RAM / Average Process MB) × safety factor. Expected Usage = Max Children × Average Process MB. Safety Margin = Usable RAM - Expected Usage.
