Resistor Plus calculates resistance from color bands or SMD markings and reports tolerance and temperature coefficient for color-coded parts. It also helps identify RGB colors in a resistor picture and calculates the combined resistance of two resistors connected in series or parallel. The separate tools suit basic component identification and circuit checks.

Resistor Plus is a resistor-value utility for electronics students, hobbyists and technicians who need to decode component markings or check simple resistor combinations. It offers separate tools for color-band resistors, resistor images, SMD markings and two-resistor circuits, keeping common identification and calculation tasks in one application.
For a color-coded resistor, the user selects the number of bands and chooses each band's color. Resistor Plus then calculates the resistance value and also reports the component's tolerance and temperature coefficient. This provides a way to interpret a resistor when its printed value is unavailable or difficult to read, and to compare the code with an expected resistance.
A separate page helps identify RGB colors in a picture of a resistor. For SMD components, the user first selects the resistor model and then enters the letters and numbers printed on it. Markings can be entered with either the mouse or keyboard, making the tool suitable for decoding surface-mount resistors whose compact labels use text rather than color bands.
The circuit calculator handles two resistors connected either in series or in parallel, returning their total resistance. This is useful for checking a basic circuit calculation or estimating the combined value before assembling a circuit. The program focuses on component identification and elementary resistance calculations rather than broader circuit design or simulation.
Resistor Plus is shareware and is available in English. Its supported systems include Windows 10, alongside older Windows releases and Windows Server editions. The interface organizes its functions into separate pages, so users can choose the relevant method according to the resistor type or calculation they need.
