Calculators

Everyday sums, done properly and shown with the formula behind them.

Fifteen calculators for the numbers people most often work out by hand: splitting a restaurant bill, checking a sale price, estimating a loan payment, projecting savings, working out a GPA, or counting the days to a date. Results update as you type, and every page explains the formula it uses and includes a reference table worked out with the same code, so you can check the answer against a second source.

Money

The tip, discount, sales tax, and percentage calculators cover shopping and eating out. The loan payment calculator uses the standard amortization formula behind most car, personal, and mortgage loans, and the compound interest calculator projects a savings balance month by month with regular deposits.

Health and fitness

The BMI calculator uses the WHO adult ranges. The calorie calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor equation for resting energy use and standard activity multipliers. The pace calculator turns a distance and time into pace per mile or kilometer and projects race finish times. The due date calculator applies Naegele's rule. These give estimates for planning; they are not medical advice.

Dates, time, and units

The age and days until calculators count calendar days, including leap years. The time duration calculator handles shifts that run past midnight. The unit converter covers length, weight, and temperature, and the GPA calculator weights each grade by credit hours.

Privacy

The arithmetic runs in your browser. Nothing you type into a calculator, whether a salary, a loan balance, or a date of birth, is sent to a server or stored.
