About this calculator
The Geometric Sequence Calculator is a browser-based tool that helps you work through a calculation. You enter your first term, common ratio and term number, and it applies the standard method to return the result. Everything runs locally — no sign-up, no uploads, nothing stored — so it stays fast and private.
Made for students and anyone checking their working, it gives the result from your first term, common ratio and term number in one step — clearly laid out, free to use, and computed entirely on your device.
How to use
- Enter the first term (a), the common ratio (r), and the number of terms (n).
- Press Calculate to run the geometric sequence calculator.
- Read the result: the nth term, the sum of the first n terms, and a preview.
- Press Reset to clear the geometric sequence calculator and start again.

Technical notes
Geometric Sequence Calculator uses the geometric-sequence formulas: nth term aₙ = a₁·r^(n−1) and sum Sₙ = a₁·(1 − rⁿ)/(1 − r).
Inputs are taken exactly as entered, so check for typos before trusting an answer.
All arithmetic runs in your browser using double-precision floating point, so extreme inputs may show tiny rounding differences.
FAQ
What is a geometric sequence?
A list of numbers where each term is multiplied by the same fixed value, called the common ratio (r).
How does the Geometric Sequence Calculator find the nth term?
Use aₙ = a₁ × r^(n−1); the calculator also returns the sum of the first n terms.
What do I enter in the Geometric Sequence Calculator?
The first term (a), the common ratio (r), and the number of terms (n).
Does the Geometric Sequence Calculator send my data to a server?
No — the Geometric Sequence Calculator runs entirely in your browser, so the numbers you enter never leave your device.
Worked example
For first term 2 and ratio 3, the 5th term = 2 × 34 = 2 × 81 = 162.
