Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between calculators?
Match calculator to specific need: Simple one-off calculation? Use basic calculator. Complex formulas or functions? Use scientific calculator. Working with dates and times? Use date calculator. Need to track running totals? Use adding machine/tape calculator. Programming or large numbers? Use programmer calculator. Money and percentages? Use business calculator. Teaching math? Use graphing calculator. Our tool directory categorizes calculators by use case—browse by category to find perfect match for your task. Save frequently-used calculators as bookmarks.
What's the difference between calculators and converters?
Calculators perform mathematical operations (add, multiply, functions) on numbers you input. Converters transform values from one unit/system to another using fixed conversion factors. Examples: Calculator: 15% of $230 = $34.50. Converter: 10 miles = 16.09 kilometers. Some tools blend both: Mortgage calculator computes payment AND converts annual rate to monthly. Recipe calculator scales ingredients AND converts cups to grams. Choose calculator for computation, converter for unit transformation, or combo tools for both.
How accurate are online calculators?
Accuracy depends on: Algorithm quality (we use verified formulas), Input precision (garbage in, garbage out), Rounding (we use appropriate decimal places), Regular updates (tax calculators need annual updates). Financial calculators: 99.9%+ accurate for standard scenarios. Scientific calculators: Match hardware calculator precision. Conversion calculators: Use official conversion factors (NIST, SI standards). Limitations: Simplified assumptions (taxes, investment returns), Can't account for every variable, Not legal/financial advice. For critical decisions, verify with professionals. Our calculators undergo regular testing and updates.
Can I use calculators on mobile devices?
Yes! All our calculators are mobile-responsive and work on phones, tablets, desktops. Mobile-specific features: Touch-friendly large buttons, Optimized layouts for small screens, No app download required (works in browser), Offline functionality for basic calculators, Save to home screen for quick access. Tips: Rotate to landscape for more space on forms, Use voice input for long numbers, Bookmark frequently-used tools, Share results via text/email. Most work without internet after initial page load. Cross-device syncing available for registered users.
How do I save and share calculator results?
Multiple options: Screenshot: Simplest method, works everywhere. Copy/paste: Select results text, copy to email/document. Print: Use browser print function, save as PDF. Share button: Sends link or results via email/text. Save to account: Store calculation history (registered users). Export: Download results as PDF or CSV (available on some calculators). Bookmarks: Save calculator with pre-filled values via URL parameters. For sensitive data (financial, personal), avoid sharing screenshots publicly. Use secure methods for confidential information.
What should I do if a calculator gives unexpected results?
Troubleshooting steps: 1) Check inputs: Verify all numbers, units, formats are correct. 2) Understand assumptions: Read calculator description for limitations. 3) Try example: Use known values to verify calculator works. 4) Check units: Ensure consistent units (don't mix meters and feet). 5) Consider context: Is result actually wrong or just unexpected? 6) Test boundary cases: Try minimum/maximum values. 7) Compare sources: Cross-check with other calculators or manual calculation. 8) Report issue: Contact us with specific inputs/outputs if truly incorrect. We fix bugs quickly and appreciate user feedback.
