Exponential Backoff & Jitter Calculator
Model retry waits, jitter and deadline ranges locally without sending requests.
Enabling local controls…
Results
Review the settings and run. Editing inputs clears old results.
Processing model and limits
Model up to 30 retries. The capped exponential delay uses none, full or equal jitter; an optional Retry-After floor applies to every wait and can exceed the cap. Fixed request duration is included before each retry. Deadline compares retry start times, inclusive at the boundary. These ranges are not predictions, retry-safety advice or evidence of server behavior. Inputs stay in this tab and local Worker.
