Calculators

Eight calculators for everyday numbers: a loan payment, a discount, a split bill, an exact age, a unit conversion. Each one updates as you type and is upfront about what it leaves out.

None of them sends what you enter anywhere. That is worth saying for a calculator, because the inputs are so often personal — your weight, the size of your mortgage, your date of birth.

How these tools work

Each calculator is a short piece of JavaScript running standard formulas as you type. The loan calculator uses the usual amortization formula, monthly payment = PĀ·i Ć· (1 āˆ’ (1 + i)āˆ’n), where P is the amount borrowed, i the monthly rate and n the number of payments. BMI is weight divided by height squared. Age is calendar arithmetic that accounts for leap years and the different lengths of months. Nothing is stored, with one exception: the buy & trade calculator keeps your item list and percentages in this browser, so a closed tab picks up where you left off.

Frequently asked questions

Does the loan calculator include taxes and insurance?

No. It shows principal and interest only. Property tax, home insurance, mortgage insurance and any fees are extra, so treat the monthly figure as the minimum rather than the full cost of owning the property.

Is what I type into these calculators saved?

No. The figures exist only in the page and disappear when you reload or close the tab. The one exception is the buy and trade calculator, which deliberately saves your list and percentages in your own browser so you can use it through a working day.

Why do two percentage discounts not add up?

Because the second discount is taken from the reduced price, not the original one. With 20 percent off, a 100 item costs 80; a further 10 percent off takes 8 from that, leaving 72. The combined discount is 28 percent.

Is BMI a reliable measure of health?

It is a quick screening measure, not a diagnosis. It uses only height and weight, so it cannot distinguish muscle from fat and says nothing about where weight is carried. It is a reasonable starting point for a conversation with a doctor, not a substitute for one.

How accurate are the results?

The calculators use the standard formulas and round money to cents. They are accurate for the assumptions stated on each page. For a decision with real money at stake, such as a mortgage, confirm the figures with your lender, who will include fees and terms these tools do not know about.
