HPA Threshold Calculator

The HPA Threshold Calculator helps you plan a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler. Enter a pod CPU and/or memory request, the target utilization percentage, and the expected total load. The tool reports the targetAverageUtilization and the replica count needed, clamped to your min/max.

Nothing is uploaded. The calculation runs entirely in your browser.

• Target utilisation - CPU and/or memory.
• Replica math - load divided by per-replica capacity.
• Min/max clamp - respects HPA bounds.
• Copy / Download / Print - export the plan.

1. Enter pod request(s) and target %.
2. Enter expected total load.
3. Set min/max replicas.
4. Click Calculate.

Example 1 - CPU. 100m request, 50% target, 1000m load => 20 replicas.

Example 2 - capped. Huge load clamped to max replicas.

• Right targets - avoid overload or waste.
• Clamp aware - honours min/max.
• Private - runs fully in the browser.
• Exportable - copy, download or print.
