Construction calculators that show their work. Feet, inches and sixteenths — kept exact, never rounded behind your back, and every constant cites the document it came from.

Why the numbers are different here

Most construction calculators round to a decimal somewhere in the middle and hand you the result of that rounding. This one keeps every measurement as an exact fraction from the first keystroke to the last, and rounds only when it draws the answer on screen — and says so when it does.

Every constant on this site — bag yields, material densities, code limits — carries the published document it came from, printed on the page beside the number. If a figure has no source we do not use it.

The same arithmetic runs in the phone app, because both install the same versioned package and both run its test vectors before shipping. The website and the app cannot disagree.
