Voltage Divider Calculator

Circuit diagram of a voltage divider converter, with R1 connected to Vin and R2 connected to ground

This calculator provides assistance for designing a voltage divider, either with a common E-series of preferred numbers or with the set of resistors you already have in your parts bin.

This calculator accepts arbitrary units and expressions. For example, 5e10 / (1 hour) will be interpreted as "27.77 MHz".

Allowed Resistors

E-series

Select parameters for the resistors that the calculator will be allowed to use. Modifying values here will replace the contents of the custom resistor entry field below.

Divider Parameters

Select the parameters for your voltage divider. You may change any of the fields, and the rest of the fields will update with the correct values
