    By combining and improving recent techniques and results, we provide explicit estimates for the error terms |π(x)−li(x)|, |θ(x)−x| and |ψ(x)−x| appearing in the prime number theorem. For example, we show for all x≥2 that |ψ(x)−x|≤9.39x(log⁡x)1.515exp⁡(−0.8274log⁡x). Our estimates rely heavily on explicit zero-free regions and zero-density estimates for the Riemann zeta-function, and improve on existing bounds for prime-counting functions for large values of x.
