How to Calculate Exponential Growth
What is Exponential Growth?
An exponential growth calculator models quantities that increase by a constant percentage rate: N(t) = N₀ × e^(rt). Exponential growth feels slow initially (doubling from 1 to 2) but overwhelms linear intuition quickly (from 1 million to 2 million in the same time). Bacterial growth, viral spread, and compound interest all follow this pattern.
