The present disclosure provides a method and a device for transmitting data using a LDPC code. The method for transmitting data using a LDPC code includes: determining a check code length according to a current LDPC code rate; informing a receiving end about the current LDPC code rate and the check code length, adding a check code with the check code length to data to be sent, and implementing a LDPC encoding using the current LDPC code rate, so as to obtain LDPC code data; and sending the LDPC code data to a receiving end. The method and the device of the present disclosure can improve spectrum effectiveness of transmitting data using LDPC code.
