Every formula used here is standard and documented in the questions below. Where a result depends on an assumption, the assumption is stated rather than buried.
Frequently asked questions
What is an aspect ratio?
The proportional relationship between width and height. 1920 × 1080 simplifies to 16:9.
Common video ratios?
16:9 for most video, 9:16 for vertical mobile, 4:5 for Instagram portrait, 1:1 for square, and 2.39:1 for cinematic widescreen.
Why does my image look stretched?
Because width and height were changed by different proportions. Use the matching height this calculator gives to keep the ratio intact.
Is this calculator free?
Yes, with no account, no limits and no data collection. It runs entirely in your browser.
Should I rely on this for a financial or medical decision?
No. It is a planning estimate built on standard formulas and stated assumptions. For decisions that matter, speak to a qualified professional who can account for your full circumstances.
Is this calculator accurate?
The arithmetic is exact — it uses the standard formula, shown in the questions above. What limits accuracy is the assumptions: the figures you enter, and factors the formula does not model such as fees, taxes and rule changes. Treat the result as a well-founded estimate rather than a quotation.
Do I need to sign up or download anything?
No. It runs in your browser, updates as you type, and stores nothing. There is no account, no download, and no limit on how many times you use it.
