Overview
Buffer Preparation Calculator is an easy and free online tool that runs in your browser.
Plan Henderson–Hasselbalch buffers, estimate component masses, and size stock solution volumes. No logins, no uploads.
Local-first: calculations happen in your browser and stay on your device.
Set a target pH, choose a conjugate pair, and estimate the acid/base split for your buffer.
Convert required moles into volumes from available acid/base stock solutions.
Verify the pH from measured acid/base masses or moles and adjust as needed.

Everything runs locally in the browser whenever possible, which reduces friction for users and makes the page more useful as a direct-answer landing page from search.
The following topics are closely related to this tool and help explain what it is for:
It uses the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation to split total concentration into acid/base amounts for a target pH and pKa.
Target pH, pKa, total buffer concentration, and final volume. Molar masses are optional but enable mass (g) estimates.
It converts required moles into volumes from your acid/base stock concentrations and estimates how much water to add.
