Calculation path
Calculate mass-based parts per million from milligrams of solute per kilogram of mixture. The page evaluates the displayed equation from your supplied values and presents both symbolic and substituted KaTeX working so the arithmetic can be checked.
Calculation path
ppm by mass = mg solute/kg mixture
What you receive
What you receive
- Mass concentration in ppm from the stated equation
- A symbolic formula plus substituted working with your values
- Visible assumptions, field guidance, and an authoritative learning reference

Choose the maximum decimal places shown. This does not increase source accuracy.
The mg/kg convention is used; density-dependent mg/L interpretations are not interchangeable.
Use internally consistent units and retain extra precision when carrying the result into another calculation.
