Series and Parallel Resistor Calculator

Total resistance of resistors in series and in parallel.

Ω

How it works

In series the values add: R = R₁ + R₂ + … In parallel the reciprocals add: 1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + … Parallel resistance is always smaller than the smallest resistor. Enter values separated by commas or spaces. Example: with the default values, series resistance comes to 650 Ω.
