Sixteenth is a construction calculator that works in feet, inches and fractions, the way you read a tape. Type 12' 3-5/8" + 4' 7-1/4" and get 16' 10-7/8", rounded to the sixteenth or whatever precision you set.
THE CALCULATOR
• Feet, inches, yards and fractions from 1/2 to 1/64, plus metric
• Square and cubic entry: tap ft twice for ft², three times for ft³
• Pitch, rise, run and diagonal keys to solve any right triangle
• Percent, memory (M+, M−, MR), repeat equals, trig, square root and π
• A tape of every calculation. Edit any line, reuse a result, save named memories
TRADE TOOLS (20+)
• Stairs: risers, treads, stringer length, framing square settings, marks along the stringer, headroom and IRC checks
• Rafters: common, hip/valley and jacks, plumb and seat cuts, birdsmouth with heel and HAP
• Wall studs with layout marks you can read straight off the tape
• Rake walls, roofing squares and shingle bundles
• Right triangle and pitch, arcs and circles, polygons
• Concrete slabs, footings and tubes in cubic yards and premix bags
• Rebar grids, board feet and material weight
• Drywall and sheathing with tape, mud and screws
• Decks, fences, paint, flooring and tile
• Compound miter and crown molding saw settings
