Formula: Remaining dose = initial dose × 0.5^(elapsed time / half-life)

Calculate estimated caffeine remaining using the values and assumptions you provide.

initialMg
Initial dose (mg)
hours
Elapsed time (hours)
halfLife
Estimated half-life (hours)

Results depend on the assumptions entered; verify professional or safety-critical decisions independently.

Calculate with code

These short examples use the same inputs and core calculation as this tool. Adapt validation and formatting to your application.

JavaScript
const initialMg = 100, halfLifeHours = 5, elapsedHours = 10;
console.log(initialMg * 0.5 ** (elapsedHours / halfLifeHours)); // 25 mg estimated
TypeScript
const initialMg=100, halfLife=5, elapsed=10;
const remaining: number = initialMg * 0.5 ** (elapsed/halfLife);
console.log(remaining); // 25 mg estimate
Python
initial, half_life, elapsed = 100, 5, 10
print(initial * 0.5 ** (elapsed / half_life))  # 25 mg estimate
Java
System.out.println(100 * Math.pow(0.5, 10.0/5)); // 25 mg estimate
C#
Console.WriteLine(100 * Math.Pow(0.5, 10.0/5)); // 25 mg estimate
