Voltage Divider

Solve Vout, current, and power for a two-resistor divider.

Vout = Vin × R2 / (R1 + R2)

2.5 V

Vout

250 µA

Current

1.25 mW

Power (R1+R2)

Vout is the voltage at the junction between R1 and R2, measured to ground. These figures assume a high-impedance load — if your load draws meaningful current, put it in parallel with R2 and recompute.
