What's 3% of $123? In £? Invested at 7% after 3 years? No more guessing.

Raycast solves complex math expressions and supports time zones, unit conversions, dates, and currency — including crypto. The best thing is, it understands your natural language.

## Get Started

The Calculator is a special command. It's always available in Root Search — just type any expression. You'll see your expression displayed on the left, and the answer on the right.

## What Raycast Understands

- Convert units and currencies like a breeze. For example, type `10ft in m` or `5 btc in gbp`.
- Get the % between two different values. For example, type `52% of 900`.
- Check the time of your teammates in different time zones. For example, type `5pm ldn in sf` or `time in tokyo`.
- Get the date for your next event, like `monday in 3 weeks`.
- Find out how many days are left in the quarter, like `days until 31 Mar`.
- Answer math questions like `square root of 625` or `2 power 10`.
- Convert a duration into a human-readable timespan, like `145 mins to timespan`.
