Operational Amplifier Gain Calculator

How to use this tool

  1. Enter the feedback resistor and the input resistor, both in the same units.
  2. Press Generate to see the voltage gain.
  3. Adjust the feedback resistor to see how gain changes.

Worked example

With a feedback resistor of 100 k ohms and an input resistor of 10 k ohms, gain is 1 + 100 / 10 = 11.

What this tool does not do / Limits

This assumes an ideal op-amp in a non-inverting layout. It ignores supply rails, output limits, bandwidth, input offset and resistor tolerance, and it is an estimate, not a substitute for a component datasheet or a qualified electrician.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the gain 1 plus the resistor ratio?

The feedback network feeds back R1 / (R1 + Rf) of the output, so the closed-loop gain works out to 1 + Rf / R1.

Can gain be less than 1 here?

No: a non-inverting amplifier always has a gain of at least 1; for lower gain use a divider or an attenuator instead.
