Peptide calculators

Free tools that do the arithmetic between a vial, the water you add, and the marks on an insulin syringe. They never suggest a dose. They show where the dose you were given falls on the syringe.

Arithmetic only. The dose comes from your prescriber and the vial label; this tool converts it into syringe units.

    The two numbers every calculator needs

    The concentration, in mg per mL. On a compounded vial it is printed on the label. For a powder you mix yourself, it is the vial amount divided by the water you add.

    The dose, from your prescriber or the product label. For approved drugs, every label dose is listed on the drug's page in the GLP-1 section. Peptides that are not approved have no human dosing standard, and the profiles say so rather than inventing one.

    With both in hand, the rest is division, because 100 units equals 1 mL on any U-100 insulin syringe.

    Worked example: a 5 mg vial plus 2 mL of water makes 2.5 mg/mL. A 250 mcg dose is then 0.1 mL, which is 10 units. With 1 mL of water the same dose is 5 units.
    The same arithmetic works for any vial. Your prescriber sets the dose; the math only finds it on the syringe.

    Which calculator do you need?

    A single-dose pen needs none of these. It delivers its full dose with one press, so there is nothing to convert.

    Three checks before you trust a result

    1. Is it a U-100 syringe? Every tool here assumes one. A syringe marked for anything else gives a wrong dose.
    2. Mg or mcg? 1 mg is 1,000 mcg, and mixing them up is the easiest large error to make.
    3. Is this the vial you are holding? Units belong to one concentration. A refill at a different strength changes the number even though your dose did not.

    A calculator also cannot check what is in the vial. Products sold "for research use only" are not legal to use on people, and the math assumes a label you can trust. The reconstitution guide covers the hands-on part, and the injection sites guide covers where the dose goes.
