Frequently asked questions
Does the Ratio Calculator accept decimals and negative values?
It accepts them wherever the selected operation permits. Invalid domains are identified before a result is shown.
How are decimal results rounded?
Calculations retain JavaScript numeric precision and display a readable number of significant digits. A displayed decimal may therefore be rounded.
Are entries stored?
No. The calculation runs in your browser and this page does not store the values you enter.
