How MathTape works

The math is on the page

Each calculator lists the formula it uses and walks through a real example, so you can follow every step and check the result by hand.

Your numbers stay with you

Calculations run in your own browser. The figures you type are never sent to us or stored anywhere.

Plain-English guides

Short explainers and answers to common questions sit under every calculator, reviewed and dated so you know they're current.
