## What you’ll find here

Each use case starts with the job rather than the formula: what you’re building, what you can measure on site, and which calculator turns one into the other. They’re written for the way work actually happens — a tape measure, a phone in a dusty pocket, and no time to remember whether the rise goes on the top or the bottom of the fraction.

If you’d rather browse by calculator than by job, the [full calculator list](https://www.chippy.tools/features/) covers concrete and groundwork, stairs and framing, decking, and set-out. Every calculator takes metric or imperial input and runs entirely on your device, so a basement with no reception is no obstacle.
