Half-Life Calculator — science and physics formula calculators
The Half-Life Calculator finds how much of a radioactive sample remains after a given time, using the exponential decay formula N(t) = N₀ × (1/2)^(t / T½). Enter the initial amount, the half-life, and the elapsed time, and the tool returns both the remaining quantity and the decayed quantity. Use it
