Estimate remaining brake pad miles from wear and original life.
Worn thickness is measured between the new and minimum limits, then scaled against the typical life of a set of pads. Brakes are a safety system, so tracking pad wear tells you when thin material risks metal-on-metal contact.
Brake Pad Life
Remaining = pad life x (current - minimum) / (new - minimum)
Remaining = pad life x (current - minimum) / (new - minimum) Worn thickness is measured between the new and minimum limits, then scaled against the typical life of a set of pads.
Brakes are a safety system, so tracking pad wear tells you when thin material risks metal-on-metal contact.
This calculator takes 4 inputs: New pad thickness, Current thickness, Minimum thickness, Typical pad life. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic starting point — replace them with figures from your own environment for a result you can act on.
