Resistor Color Code Calculator

Calculate resistor values quickly and accurately with our free online tool.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Select the number of bands on your resistor (4, 5, or 6).
  2. Choose the color for each band from the dropdown menus.
  3. The resistance value, tolerance, and (for 6-band resistors) the temperature coefficient will be calculated and displayed automatically.
