About the Population Growth Calculator

Models exponential and logistic population growth.

What it is

Choose continuous exponential (N₀e^rt), discrete exponential (N₀(1+r)^t), or logistic growth (K/(1+((K−N₀)/N₀)e^(−rt))), enter your parameters, and see the projected population, a chart of the curve, and a table of values.

Features

Two models

Exponential (continuous or discrete) and logistic.

Doubling time

Computed automatically for exponential growth.

Carrying capacity

Shown as a reference line in logistic mode.

Solve-for-unknown

Back-calculate growth rate from N₀, N(t), and t.
