📶 Duty Cycle Calculator

Calculate duty cycle percentage from pulse width and period, or from on-time and off-time.

How to Calculate Duty Cycle

Duty cycle is the percentage of time a signal is in its active (high) state during one complete cycle. It is calculated as Pulse Width / Period × 100, or equivalently On Time / (On Time + Off Time) × 100. A 50% duty cycle means the signal is high for exactly half the period. Duty cycle is important in PWM, power supplies, and motor control.
