Instructions
(See screenshot below for full example)
Overview
Freely type math expressions, line by line, and optionally add text to indicate what numbers mean.
Example:
$257 flights + $54 ride to airport
/ 2 ppl
Calculation Names & Variables
Above each calculator is a Calculation Name box, where you can enter a name for the calculation.
Calculation Names can be referenced in other calculators by wrapping the name in {brackets}.
Example:
Calculator Name box:
construction_cost
Can be referenced in calculations as:
$450,000 sale - {construction_cost}
Calculation Names - Alternate variable name
Sometimes, you may wish to enter a descriptive name, but still want the convenience of a nice short variable name. For instance, you want the name to be
"Cost of construction in 2019 by all vendors", but this is quite a long variable name.
You can use brackets to specify an alternate variable name in the Calculation Name.
Example:
Calculator Name box:
{construction_cost_all} Cost of construction in 2019 by all vendors
Can be referenced in calculations as:
$450,000 sale - {construction_cost_all}
Calculation Names - Multiple Lines
To increase the height of a Calculation Name box, enter a new line.
Result Output Text
To have text appear with the current line in the result output, add
=
before it.
Example:
$500 - $35.60
/ 3 = per person
(below screenshot shows how this looks)
