Population Growth Calculator

Enter any three values—Initial Population (X₀), Rate of Growth (%) (r), or Number of Years (t)—and calculate the missing parameter.

The Population Growth Calculator is a powerful tool designed to estimate population growth over time. Using the population growth formula, it calculates how a population increases (or decreases) based on its initial size, growth rate, and the time period.

Whether you’re analyzing global population trends or estimating growth for a specific area, this calculator provides precise results. It also supports detailed step-by-step calculations.

Formula

  1. Final Population (Xₜ):

     

    Xt=X0×(1+r100)tXₜ = X₀ \times (1 + \frac{r}{100})^

     

  2. Initial Population (X₀):

     

    X0=Xt(1+r100)tX₀ = \frac{Xₜ}{(1 + \frac{r}{100})^t}

     

  3. Rate of Growth (r):

     

    r=((XtX0)1t1)×100r = \left( \left( \frac{Xₜ}{X₀} \right)^{\frac{1}{t}} – 1 \right) \times 100

     

  4. Time Period (t):

     

    t=ln(Xt/X0)ln(1+r100)t = \frac{\ln(Xₜ / X₀)}{\ln(1 + \frac{r}{100})}

     

Solved Examples

Example 1: Calculate Final Population

Step Value Explanation
Initial Population (X₀) 1,000 Input value
Growth Rate (r) 5% Input value
Time Period (t) 10 years Input value
Formula Xt=X0×(1+r/100)tXₜ = X₀ \times (1 + 

 

Apply formula
Calculation 1,000×(1+5/100)10=1,628.891,000 \times (1 + 5/100)^{10}

 

Final population is 1,628.89

Example 2: Calculate Growth Rate

Step Value Explanation
Initial Population (X₀) 1,000 Input value
Final Population (Xₜ) 2,000 Input value
Time Period (t) 5 years Input value
Formula r=((XtX0)1t1)×100r = \left( \left( \frac{Xₜ}{X₀} \right)^{\frac{1}{t}} – 1 \right) \

 

Apply formula
Calculation r=((2000/1000)1/51)×100=14.87%r = \left( (2000 / 1000)^{1/5} – 1 \right) \times 100

 

Growth rate is 14.87%

Xt=X0×(1+r100)tXₜ = X₀ \times (1 + \frac{r}{1

to calculate final population after a given time period.

What is the formula for population growth rate?
The growth rate formula is:

 

r=((XtX0)1t1)×100r = \left( \left( \frac{Xₜ}{X₀} \right)^{\frac{1}{t}} – 1 \right) \times 100

 

How can I estimate future population?
Input the Initial Population, Growth Rate, and Time Period into the calculator to estimate future population.
