The Purchasing Calculator computes and compares the price in multiple currencies for two or three commodities measured by weight (mass), volume, area and length.
- Price for Length: Enter a length and cost per unit length to see a total cost (e.g., 650 yards at $7.48 per foot is $14,586) .
- Price per Area: Enter an area and cost per unit area to see total cost (e.g., 470 square feet at $3.23/ft2 to see a total cost.
- Price per Volume Enter a length and cost per unit length to see a total cost.
- Price Compare Two Items by Length : Enter the length or distance and price of two items, and the calculator tells you which is the better buy and by how much.
- Price compare Three items by Length: Enter the length or distance of tree items, and the calculator tells you which is the best buy and by how much.
- Price compare Two Items by Area: Enter the area and price of two items, and the calculator tells you which is the better buy and by how much.
- Price compare Three items by Area : Enter the area of tree items, and the calculator tells you which is the best buy and by how much.
- Price Compare Two Items by Volume: Enter the Volume and price of two items, and the calculator tells you which is the better buy and by how much.
- Price Compare Three items by Volume: Enter the Volume and price of three items, and the calculator tells you which is the better buy and by how much.

- Price Compare Three Items by Weight or Mass: Enter the weight (mass) and price of three items, and the calculator tells you which is the better buy and by how much.
- Money per Length Conversion: e.g., enter dollars per foot and see Euros per meter among many other possibilities.
- Money per Area Conversion: e.g., enter dollars per square inch and see Euros per square centimeter among many other possibilities.
- Money per Volume Conversion: e.g., enter dollars per gallon and see Euros per liter among many other possibilities.

This calculator makes these and many more calculations trivial by letting you choose your units (length, area, volume, weight and even currency), enter your numbers and get a reliable answer. NOTE:All currencies whether input costs or output prices have a default of U.S. dollars (USD). However, the user can automatically convert this via the pull-down menu.
