## Calculator guides and practical math tips

This guide library helps you get useful answers from Calcul.io with less setup. The calculator accepts natural-looking expressions and keeps each step visible, making it easier to check a result, revise an assumption, or share the full calculation.

## Start with a worked example

Learn the core workflow in the [calculator instructions](https://calcul.io/instructions/index.md), then explore practical examples for a [multi-currency vacation budget](https://calcul.io/examples/vacation/index.md), an [investment portfolio](https://calcul.io/examples/portfolio/index.md), or [calculating from the Chrome address bar](https://calcul.io/examples/google-chrome-search/index.md). You can also browse references for [math functions](https://calcul.io/functions/index.md), [built-in constants](https://calcul.io/constants/index.md), and [supported units](https://calcul.io/instructions/units/index.md).

Every example is designed to be edited. Replace the sample values with your own, add another line, and use earlier results in the next step.
