Half-Life Calculator

Model exponential decay for isotopes, pharmacology, and scientific research.

Decay Parameters
Fill in three values and leave the one you want to solve for blank.
Use any time unit (e.g., years).
Must use the same time unit as 't'.

After 10 half-lives, less than 0.1% of the initial substance remains. This is often used as a rule of thumb for when a radioactive source or drug is considered "gone" from a system.
