Estimated caffeine remaining over time
These figures apply CaffCalc’s exponential model to the adjusted 241 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 | 241 mg | 241 mg | 241 mg |
| 3 | 120.5 mg | 159.0 mg | 179.1 mg |
| 5 | 75.9 mg | 120.5 mg | 146.9 mg |
| 8 | 38.0 mg | 79.5 mg | 109.1 mg |
| 10 | 23.9 mg | 60.3 mg | 89.5 mg |
| 12 | 15.1 mg | 45.7 mg | 73.4 mg |
With the central five-hour model, the estimate falls below 25 mg after approximately 16.3 hours. The faster and slower columns show why one fixed clearance time should not be treated as a personal fact.
