Published formulas and clinical scores, with the source on every page
For healthcare professionals and students. Check results against your local protocols and clinical judgement; these tools do not give medical advice. Every calculator uses the formula or score from its original publication or the issuing guideline, cites it with a DOI, converts SI and conventional units with exact factors and warns when an input is outside the usual range. For bedside arithmetic there is the IV drip rate calculator, the insulin units to mL converter for every pen and vial strength, the heparin drip calculator driven by your own protocol, the maintenance fluid calculator and the oxygen cylinder duration calculator.
Kidney and liver tools include the eGFR calculator with the race-free CKD-EPI 2021 equations, creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault), the MELD, MELD-Na and MELD 3.0 calculator and the Child-Pugh score. Fluids and electrolytes are covered by the anion gap calculator, serum osmolality and osmolal gap calculator, sodium correction calculator, free water deficit calculator and corrected calcium calculator.
Clinical scores include CURB-65, the Glasgow Coma Scale with GCS-P, the Wells score for DVT and PE, CHA2DS2-VASc, the ASCVD 10-year risk, the APGAR score, the Bishop score and QTc with four correction formulas.
Burns, cardiology and paediatrics
- Burns. The burn TBSA calculator has a clickable Lund-Browder body chart by age, and the Parkland formula calculator times fluid from the burn, not from arrival.
- Cardiovascular. The LDL cholesterol calculator shows Friedewald, Martin/Hopkins and Sampson side by side, and the mean arterial pressure calculator adds pulse pressure.
- Paediatrics and dosing. The corrected age calculator follows the AAP definitions for preterm babies, and the body surface area calculator compares five formulas.
How these calculators are built
- Sources first. Each page names the original paper or guideline, with its DOI and the date it was checked, and quotes interpretation bands only where the source states them.
- No defaults that act as advice. Dosing tools start empty, take only the values from your own protocol, and never suggest a drug dose.
- Health tools for everyone else. General calculators such as BMI, calorie and pregnancy dates are in the health and fitness sector.
Medical Calculators: frequently asked questions
Who are these medical calculators for?
Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and students who already know how to apply the result. They check arithmetic and published scores; they do not diagnose, and they do not replace local protocols or clinical judgement.
Where do the formulas come from?
From the original publications or the guidelines that define them, such as Cockcroft and Gault for creatinine clearance, CKD-EPI 2021 for eGFR, NICE for CURB-65 and the Glasgow Structured Approach for GCS. Each page cites its sources with DOIs.
Do the tools store patient data?
No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere. Do not enter patient-identifiable information.
Which units can I use?
Both SI and conventional units, for example µmol/L or mg/dL for creatinine and mmol/L or mg/dL for glucose and cholesterol, using exact conversion factors that are shown on the page.
Can I use these for animals?
Most human formulas do not apply to animals. Where a page mentions pets, it says to ask your vet.
