CalcTape for Windows
Back to topThe desktop calculator that keeps track, for your PC.
CalcTape for Windows is currently being rebuilt from the ground up. Until the new version is ready there is no download – we no longer hand out the previous version 6 either. If you would like to try the new version early, sign up with your email address as a beta tester and we will get in touch as soon as it starts. The manual for the new version is already available here.
With CalcTape, even extensive calculations stay clear on your PC. The software makes the arithmetic visible – you create interim results and correct any number or operation afterwards. CalcTape replaces your old desktop calculator.
Enter a long list of calculation items at once – and keep the overview, just like an adding machine with a paper tape.
Change any item afterwards – the entire calculation updates automatically.
Use interim results to structure and verify your calculation.
Comment your items to give context and meaning to the calculation.
Save calculations as files, reopen and edit them anytime – with automatic recalculation.
Use files as templates for similar calculations and what-if scenarios.
Preassigned tax keys you can adapt yourself – in every edition.
Named values with parentheses and trigonometric functions, without a limit and without a surcharge.
Pro version: any number of files side by side, your own keys and keyboards, adding machine mode, theme editing, Excel export, backup and commercial use.
Freeware, Pro & Business compared.
The full calculating comfort is free – Pro and Business add professional and company features.
