Caffeine Half-Life Calculator

Estimate how much caffeine (mg and percent) remains after a number of hours using a standard half-life model.

Caffeine remaining calculator

Add drinks with their type/amount and how many hours ago they were consumed. The tool uses a caffeine half-life model to compute remaining amounts and draws a decay graph.

How to use the form
  • Type — Coffee or Tea use default mg/serving; choose Custom to enter exact mg per serving.
  • Servings — each row represents a single serving; add multiple rows for multiple cups.
  • Hours ago — how many hours have passed since you drank it (use decimals, e.g. 1.5 for 1 hour 30 min).
