Meet Maker Calc: The Tape Measure Companion. A measurement calculator for real-time fraction math on those tricky equations you need to perform while working on projects. Instead of using a normal calculator and suffering while you are constantly converting from decimals to the fractions on your tape measure, Maker Calc allows you to quickly input measurement-based fractions to calculate your results in real time as you type. Additionally, conversions to metric, feet and inches, and others are generated upon typing as well. One of the most powerful features is the ability to see rounding options based on your selected rounding precision. If your result falls between two measurements on the calculator, then below the screen, you will see the nearest fractions and be able to select the best one for your application. This empowers you as the builder to decide how precise you would like your results to be. About: My name is Jake Hasler. I’m a hobbyist woodworker, leatherworker, and maker of many things. I haven’t been able to find a great measurement calculator that I love, so I decided to build my own. My goal with Maker Calc is to put a tool in your hands that you can trust and that you enjoy using. I’ve put my heart and soul into this app I hope you love it as much as I do. Thanks for being here. - Jake PAYMENT INFORMATION Maker Calc has two recurring subscription plans available. A monthly offering which costs $1.99/month and a yearly offering which costs $19.99/year.

I’m a woodworker and who’s made my share of fraction-related mistakes. More than I’d care to admit. And yes, I could switch to metric like some of my other woodworking friends, but I don’t want to. I use this app nearly every day. It’s well laid out, easy to see with my older eyes, and it does basic fractional math really well. I especially like the bar graph the app displays when a number is between your selected precision - you can quickly tell if, for example, the result is closer to 3/32” or 1/8”, and by how much. Really useful. Great, stable app.

With the exception of the round up, round down feature (which is fantastic) the calculator is comparable to the free calculators already out there. If the round up, round down, granularity could be changed from 1/ 16th, to a 32nd, or better yet a 64th I would buy it in a heartbeat.The ability to change granularity is present. I just didn’t look hard enough. The rounding feature puts this product head and shoulders above others.

Hey there, Jake here. Thank you for the feedback! You actually can change your rounding precision setting by tapping on the cog in the bottom left corner, and you can select 1/2, 1/4 1/8ths, 1/16ths, 32nds or 64ths. Let me know if I can improve the design at all to make that more apparent, I'm sorry that you weren't able to find it. Also let me know if that doesn't meet your needs, and thanks again for checking it out!

There are few apps that are truly worth using over and over again, this is one of them. It’s for the seasons carpenters and wood workers as much as it is for a DIY’er like myself. Measurements always make my brain hurt trying to figure out exactly where to make a cut. But this app takes the hard calculations and makes it easy to visualize so I don’t have to worry I am doing the math wrong. Worth it in every way.

I’m definitely green when it comes to woodworking and craftsmanship of any kind. That being said this app was a life saver. I recently had a baby and wanted to build a crib as I couldn’t find one that wasn’t cheaply made or outrageously expensive. Maker Calc made the math extremely simple and made it so I didn’t have to do the tape measure math that racks my brain 😅 totally recommend to any fellow craftsmen/women out there!

You can now resize the Conversion Zone to expand the text size! Also, the display is now horizontally scrollable when your results exceed the width. As always, reach out if you have feedback! Thanks!
