Result

Calculated value

Exponential: 619 · Logistic: 451

Step by step

  1. Exponential: P = P0(1+r)^t
  2. Logistic: limited by K.

How it works

In exponential growth, the population grows in proportion to its size.

In logistic growth, the carrying capacity limits growth.

Birth, death, immigration and emigration affect population size.
