Calculators & Time

Scientific calculator with a live answer

Everything the basic calculator does, plus trigonometry, logarithms, roots and factorials. Type the expression and watch the answer.

The answer appears here as you type.

Type an expression and the answer updates as you go. Enter records it in the history, Escape clears. Functions: sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, sqrt, cbrt, ln, log, log2, exp, abs, round, floor, ceil, min, max, pow. Constants: pi, e, tau. Trigonometry works in radians.

How it works

01

Trigonometry works in radians

sin(pi/2) is 1. That is the mathematical convention and what every programming language uses; if you need degrees, multiply by pi/180. Stating it is worth more than guessing, since a calculator silently in the wrong mode is a classic source of wrong answers.

02

Functions take brackets

sqrt(16), not sqrt 16. It removes any ambiguity about what a function applies to — `sqrt(4)*2` is 4 and `sqrt(4*2)` is not, and without brackets there is no way to tell which was meant.

03

Powers are right-associative

2^3^2 is 2⁹, which is 512, rather than 8², which is 64. That is the mathematical convention and the one a scientific calculator is expected to follow.

What it does

The usual function set

sin, cos, tan and their inverses, hyperbolics, sqrt, cbrt, ln, log, log2, exp, abs, round, floor, ceil, sign, min, max, pow and factorial.

Constants

pi, e and tau, usable anywhere a number can go.

Multi-argument functions

min and max take any number of values; pow takes two.

Practical advice

Getting a better result

  • For degrees, convert: sin(30 * pi / 180).
  • Factorial is exact up to 170; above that the result exceeds what a double can hold and the calculator says so.
  • min and max accept a list — max(3, 7, 5) is 7.

Questions

Things people ask

Does it work in degrees or radians?

Radians, which is the mathematical convention. Multiply by pi/180 to convert from degrees — sin(30 * pi / 180) gives 0.5.

Why does sqrt(-1) give an error rather than a result?

Because the answer is imaginary and this calculator works in real numbers. Returning NaN would be technically accurate and practically useless, so it says the function is not defined for that input.

Who builds these

Free tools by day. Websites that earn their keep by trade.

KuConvert is built by KUDUY, a web design and development agency. From custom WordPress builds to SEO and e-commerce, everything they do is engineered to bring you more qualified traffic and turn it into revenue.

  • Fixed scope, no surprise invoices

    Most sites ship in four to eight weeks with the scope and the price agreed up front.

  • SEO from day one

    Search is designed into the build — structure, schema and Core Web Vitals — not retrofitted.

  • A team, not a ticket queue

    A project manager, a designer and a developer you can actually reach.

Need your whole site to load this fast?

Images are usually the heaviest thing on a page and the easiest win. KUDUY works on site speed, image delivery and Core Web Vitals for teams who would rather not do it by hand.
