Now that's a Standard Calculator : - )

 

A standard calculator is used for ordinary arithmetic.  It adds, subtracts, multiplies, and divides, usually with a few keys for percent, square root, and memory.

If you're balancing a budget, splitting a bill, working out a tip, or checking a total, a standard calculator is all you need.

Calculator Types

Standard Calculator

Covers basic arithmetic: the four operations plus functions like percent and square root.  The tool for everyday math, from the checkout line to the office desk.

Scientific Calculator

Adds advanced functions:trigonometry, logarithms, exponents, and the order-of-operations rules (with parentheses) used in algebra and science.  Students in higher-level math and people in technical fields reach for these.

Graphing Calculator

Goes further still, plotting equations visually on a screen.  Common in advanced high school and college coursework, and they're more complex to operate.

Financial Calculator

Built for money math like interest, loan payments, amortization, and cash-flow calculations.  Accountants, lenders, and finance students use them for work a standard calculator isn't designed to do.

Standard Calculator - The Right Choice?

For most people, most of the time, it simply is.  The advanced calculators trade simplicity for power that is rarely used.  If your math is everyday math, a standard calculator does the job faster and easier since it isn't trying to do everything.  There's no mode to set, no manual to consult;you just calculate.

That's the thinking behind our calculator.  It's a standard calculator at heart: clean, familiar, and focused on doing everyday arithmetic well.  But, with a few conveniences like a clickable history of your last hundred calculations and an equals key that repeats an operation  —  See What It Can Do  or just  Start Calculating.
