Voltage Divider Calculator
Calculate divider output Vout = Vin R2/(R1+R2).
How to use the Voltage Divider Calculator
Calculate divider output Vout = Vin R2/(R1+R2).
What the inputs mean
- Input voltage (V)
- Enter the value requested by this field label.
- R1 (Ω)
- Enter the value requested by this field label.
- R2 (Ω)
- Enter the value requested by this field label.
Formula or calculation method
The calculator applies the standard mathematical relationship for the labeled inputs and returns the computed result automatically.
Example
Try entering realistic values for Input voltage (V) and R1 (Ω), then tap Calculate to see how the result changes.
How to understand the result
Use the result as an estimate based on the values you entered. For planning decisions, double-check that the input units and assumptions match your real situation.
Tip: Keep all values in compatible units and use values from the same time period when the calculator compares two amounts.
