| g/100g | Percent w/w | Context |
|---|---|---|
| 0.90 | 0.90% | Physiological saline approximation |
| 5.00 | 5.00% | Mild preservative in cosmetic base |

| 37.25 | 37.25% | High-solids formulation example |
Formula Used
% w/w = (masssolute ÷ masssolution) × 100
For a 100 g solution basis: g/100g equals % w/w numerically.
Because the solution basis in g/100g is fixed at 100 g, one gram of solute per 100 g solution corresponds to one percent by mass. Hence, conversion is direct identity.
How to Use This Converter
- Enter the amount in g/100g (0 to 100).
- Set decimal places and rounding behavior to match your reporting standard.
- Review the computed % w/w shown above the form.
- Click Add to batch to record an entry in the table.
- Use Export CSV or Download PDF to save your table.

Example: Using g/100g to Percent w/w Converter
Because g/100g is defined on a 100 g basis, the numeric value matches percent by mass w/w. The examples below show identity and rounding behavior.
Example A — Identity
- Enter 7.5 as the value in g/100g.
- Keep decimal places at 1 and rounding mode Nearest.
- The converter shows 7.5 % w/w immediately.
% w/w = (masssolute / masssolution) × 100
For a 100 g basis: 7.5 g / 100 g × 100 = 7.5 %
Example B — Rounding
- Enter 12.3456 as g/100g.
- Set decimal places to 2 and rounding mode Nearest.
- Result displays as 12.35 % w/w.
Raw percent = 12.3456 %
Rounded to two decimals (nearest) = 12.35 %
Notes & Validation
- Inputs outside 0–100 are rejected because the 100 g basis limits physical range.
- All calculations run in your browser; no data leaves your device.
- Batch rows persist in local storage until cleared.
Conversion Quick Reference
Because g/100 g is a 100 g basis, the numeric value equals the percent by mass w/w.
