So I’m looking for a tool that can tell me the total cost of things I buy. Like if I buy item A for 1,20€, item B for 5,60€ and item C for 10€, it tells me how much the things I’m buying cost, which would be 16,80€ in this case.

I tried looking it up, but apparently ddg is once again incapable of showing any relevant results.

    Gonna need more info, as what you’re asking for is simply a calculator.

    Or a spreadsheet

    This seems like a classic use case for a spreadsheet. A good free one is Libre Office (or if you really want an online one, google sheets).

    Put your items/prices into a pair of columns, and put a SUM function in the field below the prices to show the total.

    I think you are looking for an “expense tracker”. There are plenty of those where you can type it in and get overviews of your spendings. I do not know which is better.

    If you need it for business purposes, like keeping documentation, scanning receipts, OCR reading and file exports etc. it will cost money.

    There are currently no one that does all and everything for free, but “Expensify” might be worth a look.

    www.numbr.dev is free and can do that. It’s like a calculator but you can label things freely in it.

    It’s free to use

      Oh, that actually looks really cool! Seems perfect for those times when you don’t want to start up a whole Excel / Google Sheet. That actually seems perfect for what OP is asking for, provided they don’t mind that it isn’t offline. At least it doesn’t require making an account! Pretty cool that you can share pages too.

    You can actually type the math into DDG and it will do it for you. Just search for “1.2+5.6+10” (I’m not sure how DDG handles the comma versus period but I would expect that it would adapt to your location)

      If you read his title, he is actually looking for an online calculator. Supposedly, these offline ones are not up to date in mathematics.
