A method for calibrating at least one operating parameter of a magnetic resonance apparatus and a corresponding magnetic resonance apparatus and computer program product are provided. The at least one operating parameter includes a constant component and a variable component. The method includes, after a start-up of at least one part of the magnetic resonance apparatus, determining the variable component of the at least one operating parameter. The constant component of the at least one operating parameter is provided. The constant component and the variable component are used to calibrate the at least one operating parameter.
