How to use

Select Load example to restore the sample, or replace the labeled inputs with your own values.
Review the options and select Run tool. No input is sent to a server.
Retry 1 waits one base delay. Linear uses base × retry number; exponential uses base × factor^(retry−1). The cap is applied before jitter.
Inspect the result, then copy or download it. Clear removes visible inputs and output.

A worked example

Load example restores these values.

Backoff strategy:
Exponential

Base delay (ms):
100

Exponential factor:
2

Maximum delay (ms):
10000

Number of retries:
5

Jitter:
None

Expected result

Retry 1: 100 ms | cumulative 100 ms
Retry 2: 200 ms | cumulative 300 ms
Retry 3: 400 ms | cumulative 700 ms
Retry 4: 800 ms | cumulative 1500 ms
Retry 5: 1600 ms | cumulative 3100 ms

Scope & limitations

A planning tool; no timers or requests are started. Cumulative figures exclude request duration. Full jitter reports minimum/maximum and expected waits, not actual random draws. Maximum 100 retries and 86,400,000 ms per delay.
