Ratio Calculator

Simplify ratios of two or more terms and scale them proportionally.

Calculated locally in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded or stored.
  • Handles ratios with 3 or more terms (A:B:C:…), not just two-part ratios — for splitting a bill three ways, a recipe with several ingredients, or any multi-way proportion.
  • Add or remove terms as needed, up to 6.
  • Scale from any term, not just the first — pick which one you know and the rest follow.
