Natural holmium (₆₇Ho) contains one stable isotope, ¹⁶⁵Ho. A number of synthetic radioactive isotopes are known, the most stable one is ¹⁶³Ho, with a half-life of 4,570 years. All other radioisotopes have half-lives not greater than 1.117 days in their ground states (although the metastable ^166mHo has a half-life of about 1,200 years), and most have half-lives under 3 hours.

Notes

Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from systematic trends. Spins with weak assignment arguments are enclosed in parentheses.
Uncertainties are given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits. Uncertainty values denote one standard deviation, except isotopic composition and standard atomic mass from IUPAC, which use expanded uncertainties.
