Calculation Methodology

This page documents how Tooler calculators generate output so users can verify assumptions before using results in financial, health, or compliance workflows.

Core rules

  • Inputs are required unless marked optional.
  • Results are rounded for readability but computed with floating-point arithmetic.
  • Displayed values are estimates unless explicitly formula-exact.

Key formulas used

  • BMI: weight (kg) ÷ height² (m²)
  • EMI: reducing-balance formula using monthly rate
  • GST add/remove: direct percentage and reverse-tax arithmetic
  • Calories: Mifflin-St Jeor BMR with activity multiplier (TDEE)

Validation and limits

Text-to-ASCII includes character and line limits to preserve usability. File tools enforce upload limits and MIME checks. Invalid input returns explicit errors rather than silent fallbacks.
