contents The $α$-decay half-lives of superheavy nuclei with $100 \leq Z \leq 120$ are comprehensively analyzed using the axially deformed relativistic mean field (RMF) formalism for the NL3$^*$ parameter set. We employ RMF binding energies to determine the $α$-decay energies and make a comparison with both the available experimental data and the theoretical results obtained from the global nuclear mass model WS4. The four distinct formulae, specifically the modified scaling law Brown, modified Viola-Seaborg, Yibin {\it et al.} formula, and its modified form are used to calculate the decay half-lives and examine the numerical correlation between the half-life ($T_{1/2}$) for each $α$-decay energy. We notice that $T_{1/2}$ is significantly dependent on the decay formula in terms of isospin asymmetry and decay energy. We also noticed that modified scaling law Brown formula estimates of half-lives agreed comparatively better with the experiment as compared to others. Moreover, the present investigation provides significant information on the stability of the superheavy island considered for ongoing and/or future experiments.
