Mathematics is everywhere in our daily lives: shopping, calculating a discount percentage, managing a budget, or even following a cooking recipe. A reliable calculator then becomes an essential tool to facilitate these daily calculations and make informed decisions about personal finances.

Basic Operations

Easily perform additions (+), subtractions (-), multiplications (×), and divisions (÷). Simply enter your numbers and select the desired operation.

Advanced Functions

Use parentheses to group operations and percentage for more complex calculations. Parentheses help define the order of operations.

Usage Tips

Use the 'C' key to clear and start over. For decimals, use the point. Results are automatically rounded to two decimal places for clarity.

Useful Math Tips

Calculating Percentages

To calculate 15% of 80, enter 80 × 15 ÷ 100 or use the % key directly. For discounts, subtract the percentage from the total.

Working with Decimals

For more precision in your calculations, don't hesitate to use decimal numbers. Our calculator handles rounding automatically.

Using Parentheses

Parentheses are essential for complex calculations. For example, (2 + 3) × 4 will give a different result than 2 + (3 × 4).
