Universe Expansion Calculator

Estimate the Hubble time (age of the universe) from the Hubble constant.

Hubble time (billion years) 13.968

Formula: t = 1 ÷ H₀

Step-by-step with your numbers:
1. Values used:
2. Hubble constant = 70 km/s/Mpc
3.
4. Hubble time = 13.968billion years
Did we solve your problem today?

The inverse of the Hubble constant gives a rough estimate of the universe's age.

The math behind it

Hubble time = 1 ÷ H₀, converting the units to years. It assumes a constant expansion rate.

Worked example

H₀ = 70 km/s/Mpc → about 14 billion years.

FAQ

Is it the true age?

It's an estimate; the actual age (~13.8 Gyr) accounts for changing expansion.
