General & Everyday Calculators

Tips, conversions and small utilities for everyday tasks.

Small jobs that come up constantly: splitting a restaurant bill, converting kilograms to pounds, counting the words in an essay, generating a password you don't have to invent. None of them needs an account, and nothing you type is sent to a server. Calculations and text stay in your browser.

The conversion tools use exact definitions rather than rounded approximations: an inch is exactly 2.54 centimetres, and a pound is exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. Where a conversion is ambiguous, such as US versus imperial gallons, the page says which it uses.

The two gallons differ by about 20%, which is why fuel economy quoted in miles per gallon looks better for the same car when the figure is in imperial gallons.
