About this tool

Sometimes a basic calculator isn't enough — you need trigonometry, logarithms, exponents or roots for schoolwork, engineering, science or finance. This scientific calculator runs in your browser with no app to install, covering the full set of functions: sine, cosine and tangent (and their inverses), natural and base-10 logarithms, powers and square roots, and the constants π and e.

It works two ways: click the buttons like a physical calculator, or just type on your keyboard — digits, operators, parentheses, Enter to evaluate, Backspace to correct. A degree/radian toggle controls the trig functions, so sin(30°) gives 0.5 in degree mode, the setting most everyday problems need. Expressions respect proper order of operations, including correct handling of parentheses and right-associative exponents (2^3^2 is 512, as it should be), so complex calculations evaluate correctly rather than left-to-right.

Under the hood, the calculator uses a purpose-built math parser — not the browser's eval — which means it's both safe and precise, showing an honest "Error" for malformed input rather than a confusing result. Whether you're checking homework, working through an engineering formula or just need √ and x^y in a hurry, it's a proper calculator that's always a browser tab away, free and private.

How to use the Scientific Calculator

  1. 1Click buttons or type directly on your keyboard (Enter evaluates, Backspace corrects).
  2. 2Toggle DEG/RAD for trigonometry — degree mode suits most everyday problems.
  3. 3Use functions like sin, cos, log, ln, √ and x^y, plus π and e.
  4. 4Parentheses and order of operations are handled correctly.

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle order of operations correctly?

Yes — it follows standard precedence: parentheses first, then exponents, then multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction. So 2 + 3 × 4 = 14, not 20. Exponents are right-associative (2^3^2 = 512), matching mathematical convention.

How do I switch between degrees and radians?

Use the DEG/RAD toggle above the buttons. In DEG mode, sin(30) = 0.5 (degrees); in RAD mode, the same functions take radians, so sin(π/2) = 1. Most school and everyday problems use degrees; higher maths and physics often use radians.

Can I use my keyboard instead of clicking?

Yes — type digits, + − * / ^ and parentheses directly, press Enter or = to calculate, Backspace to delete, and Escape to clear. It's often faster than clicking for longer expressions. The on-screen buttons and keyboard work interchangeably.

Is this calculator accurate and safe?

It uses a dedicated mathematical expression parser rather than the browser's eval function, which makes it both safe (no arbitrary code execution) and reliable. Results are computed to high precision and rounded sensibly; genuinely invalid expressions show 'Error' rather than a misleading number.
