# About This Calculator

An adding machine is a classic tool designed specifically for addition and subtraction of long lists of numbers. Unlike a standard calculator that only shows the final result, an adding machine provides a "tape" or history of all entries.

This digital version allows you to entry numbers one by one, maintaining a visible list so you can verify each entry. It's particularly useful for accounting, inventory, or any task where you need to sum many independent values without losing track.

The "tally" style interface helps prevent errors because you can cross-check your input against your source documents. If you make a mistake, you can simply remove that specific entry without starting the entire calculation over.

Whether you are totaling up a receipt, tracking daily expenses, or performing a simple inventory count, this adding machine provides the clarity and reliability of old-school office equipment with modern digital convenience.

  1. Type a number in the input box.
  2. Press "Enter" or click "Add to Total".
  3. The number will appear in the list below, and the running total will update automatically.
  4. Use the "X" button to remove an individual entry if needed.
