Calculator

What you'll do: work out a figure in the calculator panel, add or take out tax, and put the answer into the field you were on.

Open and close it

• Press Ctrl+N on any screen. You don't need a company open.
• In an amount, quantity, rate or value field, Alt+C also opens it, starting with the field's value.
• Press Ctrl+N again or Esc to close it. Focus goes back to your field.

The panel docks beside the screen (on the left in Arabic), so you can still see what you're working on. Tab goes back to the screen and leaves the panel open; Ctrl+N returns to it.

Calculate

1. Type the sum, for example 1000 + 18% or (2500 * 3) - 450.
2. Press Enter. The answer stays selected, so typing +, -, * or / carries on from it.

You can use	Example
+ - * / and brackets	(1200 + 800) / 4
Add or take off a percent	1000 + 18% is 1180; 1180 - 10% is 1062
A percent of a number	500 * 18% is 90
Digit grouping	1,00,000 or 100,000
Arabic-Indic digits	١٢٣

The arithmetic is exact. The answer is rounded to your currency's smallest unit (2 decimals for most currencies, 3 for currencies such as KWD, 0 for JPY), and the panel shows the value before rounding when it differs.

There are no memory keys (M+, MR).

Add or take out tax

1. Press Alt+T. It cycles through Add {tax}, Take out {tax} and off.
2. Press Alt+R (or Alt+Shift+R) to change the rate.
3. The panel shows the taxable value, the tax (for India, split into CGST and SGST) and the total.

The rates come from your company's country, for example 5, 12, 18, 28 and 40% GST in India, 5% VAT in the UAE, 15% in Saudi Arabia, 9% GST in Singapore, and 20 and 5% VAT in the UK. US companies have no preset rates.

Use the answer

Ctrl+Enter	Put the answer in the field you came from, and close the panel (or copy it, if that field doesn't take numbers)
