2k Resistor colour Code calculations are:

1st band= Red= 2 (1st digit)

2nd band= Black= 0 (2nd digit)

3rd band= Red= 100 (multiplier)

4th band= Gold= ±5% (tolerance)

Therefore, 20×100±5% ==> 2000Ω  ==> 2kΩ

And tolerance considered as ==> 5%of2000 ==>100Ω

Final assumed value of 2kΩ resistor is between 1900 to 2100Ω

Caution:

If resistor contains Brown and Red color bands then look it properly, this because red and brown appears to be very similar when it is already used in a circuit. Use proper light to do it.

Other methods:

Use a digital multimeter to check the value of a resistor. But DMM (digital multimeter) does not see correct values when a resistor is connected in a circuit, in such places color code comes handy.
