How it works

Fill in the 2 fields above and Resistors in Parallel Calculator calculates the result instantly, recalculating as you change any value. It applies the formula R = R₁R₂/(R₁+R₂). The math runs locally in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.

Formula

R = R₁R₂/(R₁+R₂)

Examples

  • R₁ 100 Ω, R₂ 220 Ω → Total resistance: 68.75 Ω
