About This Calculator
This Exponential Population Growth Calculator helps you predict the future population size based on the initial population, growth rate, and time period. It's an essential tool for demographers, urban planners, and anyone interested in population studies.
How It Works
- Enter the Initial Population: The starting number of individuals.
- Input the Population Growth Rate: The annual growth rate (as a decimal).
- Specify the Time Period: The number of years for the projection.
- The calculator computes the Final Population using the formula above.
Final Population = Initial Population × (1 + Growth Rate)Time Period
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Population Growth Rate?
Population Growth Rate is the rate at which the number of individuals in a population increases in a given time period, expressed as a fraction of the initial population.
Can this calculator predict population decrease?
Yes, by entering a negative growth rate, the calculator can project population decrease over the specified time period.
Is the growth rate compounded annually?
Yes, the growth rate is applied annually, compounding over the time period to calculate the final population.
