About this calculator

How it works

A voltage divider uses two resistors in series to produce a fraction of the input voltage at the midpoint.

Formulas

Formulas used

Output voltage

Vout = Vin x R2 / (R1 + R2)

Divider current

I = Vin / (R1 + R2)

FAQ

Voltage Divider Calculator questions

Can I use different units?

Yes. Select the unit beside each input. The calculator converts values internally before solving.

Are the results suitable for final design?

Use results for education, screening, and early design checks. Verify final work against standards, datasheets, and project requirements.

Why does the result update automatically?

The calculator listens for input changes and recalculates as soon as enough valid values are available.
