Precision and rounding
Calculations run in IEEE 754 double precision, giving about 15–17 significant decimal digits. Displayed values are rounded for readability while the full precision is retained internally, so intermediate rounding never accumulates into the final answer.
Very large or very small magnitudes switch automatically to scientific notation.
Sharing and saving a calculation
The "Copy link" button encodes every value you have entered into the page URL. Opening that link restores the calculation exactly, which makes it easy to bookmark a scenario, send it to someone else, or keep several variations side by side in separate tabs.
