What This Calculator Does

The Exponential Growth Calculator models how quantities grow or decay over time using the exponential model. It handles population growth, radioactive decay, and compound increase.

How It Works

y = y0 x e^(rt). y0 is the initial value, r is the growth rate, t is time. Positive r = growth, negative r = decay.

Example

Starting at 100, growing at 5% for 10 years: 100 x e^(0.05 x 10) = 164.87.

Formula

Exponential
y = y0 * e^(rt)

Reading the Results

Final Value

The value after time t at the given growth rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is exponential growth?

Growth where the rate of increase is proportional to the current value, producing an accelerating curve.

What is the doubling time formula?

Doubling time = ln(2) / r, where r is the growth rate as a decimal.

Does exponential growth go on forever?

In theory, yes. In reality, constraints (resources, space, time) eventually limit growth.
