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.
