About Binary To Decimal Calculator

Each binary digit carries a weight that doubles from right to left, so the value is the sum of 2^position over the set bits. Horner's method accumulates this in one left-to-right pass.

Formula

Binary to decimal

value = Σ bitₖ × 2ᵏ, counting positions from the right starting at 0

Worked example

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to whole numbers, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
