I use percentage calculators quite a lot. And we all know that the best one out there is one that looks exactly as it did when it launched in 2007.

So I decided to build one that looks more like 2025. A clean one.

Some extra features were also added:

- I removed the calculate button. Now it happens automatically, 0.75 seconds to be more precise. And that is because it takes me about 1s to get from the input to result and copy it.

- Result fields have built in copy functionality. Just click or tap the field and the result is in your clipboard.

- Dark mode support

- Theme display based on os theme

- A cookie to remember the theme for 1 year (the only cookie actually)

I tried to keep it clean for fast loading, so there are no libraries or google analytics. Just a small script for a CloudFlare worker that tracks how people use it.

Update: A new version is out.

- Meihus now supports translations in 27 languages

- Auto-translation feature based on IP if the language is supported

- Manual language selector

The translations mechanism just looks for the IP country using ipapi, not storing any data about the user IP

One more mention: The website takes into account if you are using IP blocker like Apple Private Relay and will not try to dig further. Which will default to the English version of the website

Thank you!! I really appreciate the feedback.

The fees will come in a later release.

My plan for the next version is to ship translations feature + local currency feature.

Fees are dependent on that and quite complex to implement since each country has it's own + in US each state is different as well.

Fix deployed. I have added an "e.g." label in front of the placeholders.

Cheers once again! I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much for the feedback.

I live in Europe where mortgages without a down payment are quire rare unless you have an extra house that is at least 75% of the value of the new one you want to purchase. This being the reasoning because of which it is there.

About the whole gray placeholders - you are correct. I will fix that!
