Voltage Divider Calculator

Enter input voltage and two resistors to find the divided output voltage.

8 V

Output voltage (Vout)

A voltage divider uses two resistors to scale an input voltage down to a lower output.

How to use

  1. Enter the input voltage Vin.
  2. Enter resistor values R1 and R2.
  3. Read the output voltage across R2.

Frequently asked questions

What is the divider formula?
Vout = Vin × R2 / (R1 + R2).
Does load affect the output?
Yes, a connected load draws current and lowers Vout from the ideal value.
