Naturally occurring platinum (78 Pt) consists of five stable isotopes (192 Pt, 194 Pt, 195 Pt, 196 Pt, 198 Pt) and one very long-lived (half-life 4.83×1011 years) radioisotope (190 Pt). There are also 34 known synthetic radioisotopes , the longest-lived of which is 193 Pt with a half-life of 50 years. All other isotopes have half-lives under a year, most under a day. All isotopes of platinum are either radioactive or observationally stable , meaning that they are predicted to be radioactive but no actual decay has been observed. Platinum-195 is the most abundant isotope.

^ m Pt – Excited nuclear isomer .
^ ( ) – Uncertainty (1σ ) is given in concise form in parentheses after the corresponding last digits.
^ # – Atomic mass marked #: value and uncertainty derived not from purely experimental data, but at least partly from trends from the Mass Surface (TMS).
^ Bold half-life – nearly stable, half-life longer than age of universe .
^
Modes of decay:
^ Bold italics symbol as daughter – Daughter product is nearly stable.
^ Bold symbol as daughter – Daughter product is stable.
^ ( ) spin value – Indicates spin with weak assignment arguments.
^ a b # – Values marked # are not purely derived from experimental data, but at least partly from trends of neighboring nuclides (TNN).
