Calculate Doubling Time

Doubling Time Calculator

A Doubling Time Calculator is a tool used to estimate how long it takes for a quantity or population to double in size based on its growth rate.

Formula

The formula for calculating doubling time is: Doubling Time = ln(2) / (Growth Rate)

Example

For example, if a population has a growth rate of 5% per year, the doubling time can be calculated as: Doubling Time = ln(2) / (0.05) ≈ 13.86 years Therefore, with a 5% growth rate, it would take approximately 13.86 years for the population to double in size.

The doubling time calculator helps in understanding the pace of growth and making projections based on the given growth rate.
