How do I search for a calculator?

Open search from anywhere

Use the Search button in the header, or press Ctrl K (⌘ K on a Mac) on any page of the site. A search pop-up opens. Type what you want to calculate, such as EMI, BMI or cm to inch, and choose a result.

Search step by step

1. 1Press Ctrl K (⌘ K on a Mac), or select Search in the header.
2. 2Type what you want to calculate, in your own words.
3. 3Look through the results and choose the one that matches.
4. 4Enter your values on the calculator page that opens.

The answer appears as you enter values, so there is no separate calculate step to press.

Get better results

• Type the job you want done, such as “cm to inch” or “EMI”, rather than a long sentence.
• If the first words do not work, try another name for the same thing, or the name of the formula.
• Short names such as EMI or BMI are enough to start with.
