How this voltage divider calculator works

A voltage divider splits an input voltage between 2 series resistors. Vout, measured across R2, is Vin x R2 / (R1 + R2). This is the unloaded formula; connecting a load resistor in parallel with R2 pulls Vout down, so it matters most for high-impedance loads like an op-amp input.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Is this calculator free?

Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up and no usage limits.

Does this account for a load resistor?

No, this is the unloaded divider formula. A load in parallel with R2 effectively lowers R2's value and pulls Vout down; for a high-impedance load the effect is usually small.
