Voltage Divider Calculator

Calculate Vout of a two-resistor divider, plus current draw and power dissipation. Includes formulas and the standard E12 resistor value.

Vout

2.500 V

Vout = Vin × R2 / (R1 + R2)

Current draw

0.250 mA

P(R1)= 0.63 mW · P(R2)= 0.63 mW

Nearest E12 values — R1: 10 kΩ · R2: 10 kΩ
