  • Check units

    Confirm units and mode

    Most calculation mistakes come from mixed units or the wrong mode (degrees vs radians, hyp vs leg). Double-check labels before using the number.

How to Calculate Logarithm and Exponential Growth Step-by-Step

  1. 1Enter the starting value and growth rate per period.
  2. 2Set number of periods for projection.
  3. 3Optionally set a target to estimate time required.

Governing formula

A = A₀ · e^(kt) or A = A₀ · b^t

Models continuous or discrete exponential growth/decay.

Example: set Initial Value = 1,000, Growth Rate (%) = 8, Periods = 10, then read the result.

Variable definitions

  • A₀

    Initial value

    Starting quantity.

  • k

    Growth rate

    Continuous rate (or use base b).

  • Negative k (or 0<b<1) models decay.
