RC Filter Calculator

f_c = 1 / (2πRC)

Instructions

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)

Common Questions

What about load impedance?

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