A method of controlling torque of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) by using a speed-torque lookup table may include: receiving a current direct-current (DC) link voltage of an inverter configured to drive the PMSM and a speed of a rotor of the PMSM; calculating a change ratio of a DC link voltage based on the current DC link voltage and a DC link voltage at a time when the speed-torque lookup table is generated; calculating a normalized speed of the rotor according to a change in the DC link voltage by using the speed of the rotor and the change ratio of the DC link voltage; and/or transferring the normalized speed of the rotor as an input to the speed-torque lookup table.
