Every calculator under Tools that uses the new layout has Download results (CSV) and Download results (Excel) buttons. They save your inputs, the results and the step-by-step working in one file. Print or save as PDF stays free on every calculator.

Good to know

  • Values are typical and rounded. Check the standard, code or datasheet that applies to your work before you rely on a number.
  • Excel files open in Excel, LibreOffice and Google Sheets. The CSV files use UTF-8 so accented characters and symbols show correctly in Excel.
  • Formula sheets and practice sets open as a printable page: use your browser’s Print command and choose “Save as PDF”.
  • The practice problems are original, written in the style of the NCEES FE exam. They are for study and are not NCEES questions.
