About CalcGarage

Every tool on this site works from published formulas and defined conversion factors, so the answer you get is the answer, not an estimate or an opinion. Each page explains the maths it uses and, just as importantly, what it can't tell you, because a calculator that hides its limits isn't a tool, it's a guess with a nice interface.

No accounts, no data collection beyond standard analytics, and everything runs in your browser. If a tool you need is missing, or a result looks wrong, get in touch through the contact page.
