Peptide Molecular Weight Calculator
Calculate the molecular weight (Da and kDa) of a peptide from its amino-acid sequence. Computed from average residue masses + one water. 100% in-browser — your sequence is never uploaded.
- 1Sum of residue masses
Σ residues = 3411.91 Da - 2Add one water (peptide bond hydrolysis)
MW = 3411.91 + 18.01528 = 3429.92 Da
🔒 100% client-side — your data is computed in the browser and never uploaded.

About Peptide Molecular Weight Calculator
Calculate the molecular weight (Da and kDa) of a peptide from its amino-acid sequence. Computed from average residue masses + one water. 100% in-browser — your sequence is never uploaded. The calculation uses MW = Σ residue masses + H₂O. Why this calculation counts: The extinction coefficient sets every A280 concentration you report; the pI decides your ion-exchange and solubility strategy. These numbers underpin purification and quantitation. Peptide: Computed from average residue masses + one water. Common pitfalls to avoid: using reduced vs oxidized ε in the wrong context; assuming pI from sequence equals experimental pI exactly; ignoring post-translational modifications. All maths runs locally in your browser; no data is ever sent to a server. That privacy is exactly why researchers link these calculators from protocols, theses and standard operating procedures.

Frequently asked questions
Any tips specific to this calculation?+
Peptide: Computed from average residue masses + one water. Also watch out for: using reduced vs oxidized ε in the wrong context and forgetting cystine (disulfide) contributions to ε280.
Is this peptide molecular weight calculator free to use?+
Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser — there are no usage limits.
What formula does it use?+
It uses MW = Σ residue masses + H₂O The full worked example is shown beneath the result so you can verify each step.
What are the most common mistakes here?+
In protein and peptide characterization, watch for: forgetting cystine (disulfide) contributions to ε280; using reduced vs oxidized ε in the wrong context; assuming pI from sequence equals experimental pI exactly; ignoring post-translational modifications. This tool shows the working so you can catch these before they cost an experiment.
Does my data leave my device?+
No. All computation happens locally in your browser. Nothing you enter — sequences, concentrations or measurements — is uploaded to any server, so it is safe for confidential work.
Can I cite this tool?+
Yes — use the “Cite this tool” snippet on the page. Many users link these calculators from methods sections, lab SOPs and teaching materials.
