The Malthusian Growth Model calculator computes the estimated future size of a population (P) based on the current population (P0), a growth exponential factor (r) and the a period of time (t).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (P0) Initial Population
- (t) Growth Period of Time
- (r) Growth Rate Factor
Future Population Size (P): The calculator returns the future population (P).
Malthusian Growth Model
The Malthusian Growth Model is basically an exponential growth model based on a constant rate of change. It is widely regarded in the field of population ecology, but populations cannot grow indefinitely. This model should only be used for short time periods of about 10 to 20 years.
The formula for the Malthusian Growth Model is:
P = P0⋅e(r⋅t)
where:
- P = future population size
- P0 = initial population size
- r = exponential growth factor
- t = period of time
