Precision and calculation record

Rounding changes displayed numbers, not the calculation. Text, fractions, matrices and CSV schedules keep their own formatting. Automatic keeps up to 12 significant digits, with money shown to cents where applicable.

Step-by-step calculation

Inputs are substituted below. Each line evaluates the next operation; intermediate values are displayed to 12 significant digits while the calculation uses full precision.

    Saved scenario

    Save the current answer, then change an input to compare. This clears when you leave.

    Formula and assumptions

    Use consistent accounting dates and definitions. Zero or negative equity does not produce a comparable positive-equity ratio here.

    Automatic precision shows numbers to 12 significant digits. Thousands separators such as 1,000 are accepted; use a dot for decimals.

    Scratch calculator

    Use +, −, ×, ÷, parentheses and %. A percentage is divided by 100. This does not change the main tool.

    Reset reloads the tool with its starting values and releases open files and device controls. Saved drafts stay on this device until you delete them.
