Voltage divider calculator

Output voltage and current of a two-resistor divider.

Calculating…

How it's calculated

Vout = Vin × R2 ÷ (R1 + R2)

Divider output only holds if the load draws much less current than the divider itself, roughly 10× less. For a supply that must hold under load, use a regulator instead.
