Frequently asked questions

Are the calculators really free?

Yes. Every calculator on Sensible Calculators is free to use with no sign-up, no limits and no paywall. The site is supported by advertising.

Do you store the numbers I enter?

No. Every calculation runs in your own browser, so the values you type never leave your device.

Do the calculators use UK units?

Yes. Calculators default to metric units, pounds sterling and UK conventions such as 20% VAT, stone for body weight and UK mpg, with imperial and US options where they are useful.

How accurate are the results?

Each calculator uses a published, standard formula, which is shown on the page so you can check the working. Some results, such as calorie needs or roasting times, are estimates — the page always says so.
