Resistor Color Code Calculator

Decode 4, 5, or 6-band resistors including tolerance and temperature coefficient.

Decoded value

Resistance
1,000 Ω ± 5%

Formula and method

Valor = dígitos × multiplicador ± tolerancia

Important assumptions

Read from the end where bands are grouped more closely; the tolerance band is usually separated.
