Mortgage payments, take-home pay, paint coverage, running pace, energy bills — and exactly how long to rest a steak, or how long a drink takes to get cold at the back of the freezer. The nuanced things you’d look up or find in a forum, all in one place. Free, in your browser.
Rule of the day · The Rulebook
45° for range — in a vacuum
Without air drag, 45° maximizes projectile range; with drag, the real optimum is nearer 30–40°.
Open the full Rulebook Exact tool: Projectile Motion & Golf Ball FlightFifteen chains through the real calculators - and every link opens the next tool with the numbers already in it.
Dealt fresh on every visit, and running the same verified physics as the full tools — click a mini to feature it above, or open the simulator for controls and scenarios.
The earth, the sky, and the clock - moist-air physics, solar geometry, and time across the globe.
Structural and mechanical reference - load, stress, and the standard checks that go with them.
The properties of the stuff itself — every element and what it is actually for, how a fluid behaves as it warms, and what really sets the strength of a concrete mix.
Open Materials and ElementsCircuits and magnetics - Ohm's law, power factor correction, transformer turns ratio, and wire sizing.
Everyday money math - what your money does while it sits, and what a loan really costs over time.
How things respond and how we steer them - feedback control and the limits of digital sampling.
The machines themselves - storage layout, networks, and the trade-offs of keeping data safe.
Real, live simulations you can nudge and watch respond - oscillation, chaos, motion under friction, and heat transfer.
Hands-on reference for around the house - paint, fixings, concrete, tea, coffee, grinding, eggs, and precision timing.
A scientific calculator that shows its own order of operations, trigonometry, a full 2D/3D geometry suite, and statistics with a genuinely random Galton board.
BMI on a full colour-coded chart, running/cycling/swimming pace, and calorie needs from a validated formula.
An instrument is a physics experiment you can hold. Notes named on the stave, pitch read to a fraction of a cent, chord shapes and scale positions worked out from the tuning itself, and beats placed on the audio clock rather than the browser's.

Ranked by how many people starred each tool — one vote per browser, no account, and nothing about what you calculated.
Yes - every tool, no account, no paywall. There are no ads and no analytics running on this site today; see the privacy policy for exactly what that means and what would change first if that ever changes.
Each one is built from a real, cited formula or dataset - a physics equation, an engineering standard, published statistics - not a guess. Every tool's footer names its source, and most are verified against the source's own worked examples before publishing. See Sources for the full list.
No first-party cookies and no analytics. Calculator inputs stay in your browser. The optional Favourite star on a tool saves it for you locally and can add +1 to the public popular ranking - never the numbers you typed. See Privacy.
