Awesome Calculators Awesome

Calculator icon

Software and web services for numeric, financial, engineering, health, conversion, LLM-cost, and everyday calculations. The list covers traditional, notepad, scientific, graphing, computer-algebra, command-line, and built-in calculators. Each entry lists the supported platforms, the listed price (which may vary by region or tax), the license, and a source link when code is publicly available.

Applications that pass basic hands-on checks but need more evidence for a main-list recommendation are listed in Emerging Calculators.
