Estimated caffeine remaining over time
These figures apply CaffCalc’s exponential model to the adjusted 141 mg starting value. They are calculations, not measurements of caffeine in a particular person.
| Hours elapsed | 3-hour half-life | 5-hour half-life | 7-hour half-life |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 141 mg | 141 mg | 141 mg |
| 3 | 70.5 mg | 93.0 mg | 104.8 mg |
| 5 | 44.4 mg | 70.5 mg | 85.9 mg |
| 8 | 22.2 mg | 46.5 mg | 63.9 mg |
| 10 | 14.0 mg | 35.3 mg | 52.4 mg |
| 12 | 8.8 mg | 26.7 mg | 43.0 mg |
With the central five-hour model, the estimate falls below 25 mg after approximately 12.5 hours. The faster and slower columns show why one fixed clearance time should not be treated as a personal fact.
