How does this love calculator work?
It compares the spelling of the two names. Four things are measured and weighted: letters the names share, how close the two initials are, the balance of vowels, and the difference in length. Those four are combined into a single number out of 100. The full formula is written out above, and the result screen shows each factor separately.
Is a love calculator accurate?
Not in the sense people usually mean. It measures spelling, and spelling has nothing to do with whether two people get on. What this one can honestly promise is that the arithmetic is correct, published and repeatable — no hidden terms, no randomness. Treat the number as a game, and treat any calculator claiming scientific accuracy with suspicion.
Is this love calculator safe to use?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no email and no app to install. The names are never sent to a server, because the calculation runs inside your browser and there is no server to send them to. They are not written into the address bar or saved on your device either, so nothing you typed is left behind once you close the tab.
Can I work out the same score on paper?
Yes, and that is rather the point of publishing the formula. Write both names out, count the letters they share against the total, compare the initials, the vowel proportions and the two lengths, then weight the four results by 40, 25, 20 and 15 percent. You will land on the same number this page gives you.
Why do the same two names always give the same percentage?
Because the calculation is fixed arithmetic on the two names, with nothing random in it and no reference to today's date. Enter the same pair next year and the number will be identical. That is deliberate: a score that drifted between visits would be entertainment pretending to be measurement, and you could never check it.
Does it work with names in Hindi, Tamil or other alphabets?
Latin, Cyrillic and Devanagari are all supported, and each field can use a different one. Letters are counted the way a reader sees them, so a Devanagari cluster is one letter, not several. Names in scripts outside those three are not scored — the tool says so plainly rather than returning a meaningless zero.
What about date of birth — does that change the result?
This calculator uses names only, so dates make no difference to it. That is a separate question with a separate method, and mixing the two would hide which one produced the number. If dates are what you actually want compared, the birthday compatibility tool linked below is built for exactly that.
