Computer and Tech Calculators Quick answers for everyday tech decisions

Seven calculators for the questions that come up at home and in small offices: plan speed, download time, NAS capacity, battery runtime, power banks on planes, screen shapes and screen sharpness. Each one shows its formula and the published figures it uses.

How they work

Built from published figures

Every calculator runs entirely in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere. Each page explains the formula behind the result and names the sources it relies on, such as the FCC’s broadband speed guide, the FAA’s lithium battery rules and the Windows battery report, so you can check the math yourself.

Each page also goes past the number: what a NAS will really show, how to measure your laptop’s actual power draw, what to check before paying for a faster plan. If a result surprises you, the page underneath it usually explains why.
