See how much caffeine is still working through your system, hour by hour, and when it will be mostly out of your body.

Picking a preset fills the amount above.
Typical: 3–5 h normal, 5–7 h if pregnant / on birth control, shorter for smokers.
What is half-life?
After one half-life, half the caffeine remains; after two, a quarter; after about five, less than 4% is left. It’s a simple exponential decay model.
