Let K be a number field, and let ℓ be a prime number. Fix some elements α1,...,αr of K× which generate a subgroup of K× of rank r. Let n1,...,nr, m be positive integers with m ⩾ ni for every i. We show that there exist computable parametric formulas (involving only a finite case distinction) to express the degree of the Kummer extension K(ζℓm,
