RC Filter Calculator

f_c = 1 / (2πRC)

How to Use This Calculator

Choose low-pass or high-pass, enter R (ohms) and C (farads). Click Calculate to get the -3 dB cutoff frequency.

Formula

f_c = 1 / (2πRC)

Frequently Asked Questions

What about load impedance?

Real circuits interact with source/load impedances, shifting the cutoff slightly from the ideal value.
