Retry and exponential backoff calculator
Plan a retry policy: see each wait, the longest delay and the total time a step can spend retrying before it gives up
Result
Total time spent waiting
1 min 1 s
- Attempts including the first
- 7
- Longest single wait
- 30 s
- Retries hitting the maximum delay
- 1
How it is calculated
Wait before retry n = min(initial delay × multiplier^(n − 1), maximum delay). The total wait is the sum of all waits. Real systems often add random jitter on top.
