Absolute Humidity Calculator

Absolute humidity is the actual mass of water vapor present in a given volume of air, usually expressed in grams per cubic meter. Unlike relative humidity, which is a percentage that changes with temperature, absolute humidity is a direct measure of moisture content, which makes it useful for drying, HVAC sizing, greenhouse control, museum conservation and any application where you need the real quantity of water in the air. This calculator takes the air temperature and the relative humidity, computes the saturation vapor pressure with the Magnus equation, scales it by the humidity to get the actual vapor pressure, and applies the ideal gas relationship for water vapor to return the density. Enter the temperature and the relative humidity, choose Celsius or Fahrenheit, and read the absolute humidity along with the underlying vapor pressure. All computation happens locally in your browser, so results are instant and private.
