Everyday calculation tools

27 tools in this category.

Each calculator answers one number question and shows the arithmetic on the page. The Percentage Calculator does three jobs: 15% of 80 is 12, 12 is 30% of 40, and increasing 200 by 10% is 220. Percentage Change compares two finished values, so 80 to 100 is a 25% rise and 100 back to 80 is a 20% drop. Discount, sales tax, and tip start from a price. Age counts calendar years, months, and days, including leap days, and it does not divide the span by 365.

Use these when a spreadsheet is more than the job needs. The numbers stay in the browser tab. Loan, mortgage, wage, and tax results are estimates from the figures you type. They are not financial, tax, medical, or legal advice. A “what percent” question with a whole of 0 is rejected, because that divides by zero. Date tools count calendar days or business days between two dates. The unit converter covers length, weight, and temperature, not currency, area, or volume.
