Accuracy & Reliability
How accurate are the calculators?
Our calculators use industry-standard formulas and are regularly tested for accuracy. They provide precise calculations based on established mathematical principles. However, they should be used as guidance tools rather than definitive financial or health advice. For critical financial decisions or health concerns, we recommend consulting with a professional.
What formulas do you use for calculations?
We use industry-standard formulas for all calculations. For example, our EMI calculator uses the standard banking formula: EMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]. Our BMI calculator uses the standard formula: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)². Each calculator page includes detailed information about the formulas used.
How often are the calculators updated?
We regularly update our calculators to ensure they remain accurate and relevant. Tax calculators are updated whenever there are changes to tax laws or rates. Investment and loan calculators are reviewed periodically to ensure they reflect current financial practices. Health calculators are updated based on the latest medical guidelines and research.
Privacy & Security
Is my personal data safe when using the calculators?
Yes, your data is completely safe because we don't collect or store any personal information. All calculations are performed locally in your browser using JavaScript, which means your input data never leaves your device. We don't have access to your financial information, health data, or calculation results.
Do you store my calculation results?
No, we do not store your calculation results on our servers. All calculations happen locally in your browser, and any data storage is limited to your device's local storage for your convenience. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.
Do you use cookies or tracking?
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, which helps us improve our calculators and user experience. This includes general information like pages visited, device type, and geographic location (country/region level). Google Analytics does not collect any personal information or calculation data. You can opt out using browser extensions or settings.
Technical & Compatibility
Are the calculators mobile-friendly?
Yes, all our calculators are fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. You can use them on smartphones, tablets, laptops, or desktop computers with the same level of functionality and user experience. The interface automatically adapts to your screen size for optimal usability.
Which browsers are supported?
Our calculators work on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. We recommend using the latest version of your preferred browser for the best experience. JavaScript must be enabled for the calculators to function properly.
Why do I need JavaScript enabled?
JavaScript is required because all calculations are performed locally in your browser using JavaScript code. This ensures your data privacy and provides instant results without server communication. If JavaScript is disabled, the calculators will not function, but this also means your data remains completely private.
Can I use the calculators offline?
The calculators require an internet connection to load initially, but once loaded, the calculation functions work without continuous internet access. However, we recommend using them online to ensure you have the latest versions with any updates or improvements.
Usage & Features
How do I save my calculation results?
Many of our calculators include options to save results locally on your device or export them as PDF or image files. You can also bookmark specific calculations or take screenshots. Some calculators store recent calculations in your browser's local storage for easy access during your session.
Can I share my calculation results?
Yes, you can share your results through various methods including taking screenshots, exporting as PDF, or copying the results text. Some calculators include built-in sharing options. All sharing methods respect your privacy and don't transmit your personal data to our servers.
What units of measurement do you support?
Our calculators support both metric and imperial units where applicable. For example, health calculators can handle both kilograms/centimeters and pounds/inches. Financial calculators work with various currencies, though results are typically displayed in the currency you input. Unit conversion is handled automatically.
Are there any limitations on calculator usage?
There are no usage limitations, fees, or restrictions on our calculators. You can use them as many times as you need, for personal or professional purposes. The only technical limitations are those imposed by your device's processing power and browser capabilities.
