Calculator

Raycast comes with a built-in Calculator that solves your complex math expressions and supports time zone, unit, date, and currency conversions. 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.
