Ratio Calculator

Enter a ratio and instantly simplify, normalize, scale, or split a total.

Enter a ratio

Use integers, decimals, scientific notation, or simple fractions.

Number of parts
Name parts

Labels are text only. They do not convert units.

Scale or split

Edit the factor, total, or a target part. That value becomes the input and all others are calculated automatically.

Good to know

The ratio calculator simplifies and scales a single ratio with two or three parts directly in your browser. You can scale by factor, target sum, or target part; input accepts integers, decimals, scientific notation, and simple fractions.

Typical searches include calculate ratio, simplify ratio, and calculate mixture. Calculation runs locally in the browser. Important: this calculator simplifies and scales a single ratio — for problems like “A corresponds to B, C corresponds to D,” the rule of three calculator is the right choice. Labels are plain text and don't convert units.

Typical use cases

Simplify a ratio to its simplest form

Enter a ratio such as 8:12 to reduce it to the simplified form 2:3.

Scale a mixture to a target amount

Enter the mixing ratio and a target sum or target part to calculate the right amounts for a larger or smaller batch.

Tips for better results

Use the rule of three calculator for correspondence problems

If the problem is “A corresponds to B, how much does C correspond to?”, the rule of three calculator is the more suitable tool than this ratio calculator.

Shares of the whole only meaningful with the same unit

The display of shares of the whole is only meaningful if all parts are components of the same whole and in comparable units.

How it works

Step by step

  1. 1

    Enter the ratio

    Enter the two or three parts of the ratio, optionally with custom labels.

  2. 2

    Set the scaling

    Optionally edit the factor, target sum, or a target part to scale.

  3. 3

    Copy the simplified and scaled result

    Copy the simplified ratio, the scaled values, or all results.

Features

Two or three parts

Work with simple two-part ratios or more complex three-part ones.

Scale by factor, sum, or part

Edit the factor, target sum, or a target part — the other values are calculated automatically.

Local calculation

Calculation happens directly in the browser, without transmission to a server.
