Resistor Divider Calculator

Resistive Voltage Divider Calculator
This calculator helps you design a two-resistor voltage divider (R1 upper, R2 lower). The divider sets the output voltage according to the formula: Vout = Vin × R2 / (R1 + R2). Work modes: 1) known Vin & Vout (auto select standard resistors), 2) manual resistor entry, 3) known division ratio.

Division Ratio
Auto mode uses the resistor range above (defaults shown in kΩ).
Manual input: enter R1 and R2 values, and either Vin or Vout for calculation.
Division ratio mode: set the ratio and known voltage (Vin or Vout) to calculate the other.
