Thyroid Calc - Measure Percentage ↑ or ↓ in thyroid dosing
This thyroid calculator simply determines the percentage when increasing or decreasing a thyroid hormone dosage.
Percent Dose Increase or Decrease

It's important to understand that when you increase your thyroid medication from, say, 25mcg to 50mcg, you're increasing your dose by double, which is a 100% increase. However, each time you raise the amount, the percentage drops incrementally. This means that you shouldn't expect the same amount of improvement towards the later stages of dosing increases.
"As the dosage increases and the person approaches the appropriate therapeutic level, the incremental improvements in symptoms may become less noticeable because the body is already getting closer to its optimal thyroid hormone levels."
