Love Calculator

What this does

So you and a friend, or you and a crush, want to see your "love percentage", the way those magazine quizzes used to do it. Type in two names, tap Calculate, and it gives you a score out of 100. It is a bit of fun, nothing more, but it is good for a laugh.

How to use it

1. Type the first name in Name of Person 1.
2. Type the second name in Name of Person 2.
3. Tap Calculate to see the love percentage.

It works with names only, letters and spaces, so no numbers or symbols.

How the score is worked out

Here is the honest truth about how it gets the number, because there is no magic in it. It takes the letters in both names, adds up their values, and turns that total into a percentage between 10 and 100. That is the whole formula.

Two things follow from that. One, the same two names will always get the same score, so it is not random, you cannot keep tapping for a better number. Two, and more importantly, it has nothing to do with real compatibility. It does not know either person. It is a number made from letters, built for fun, so enjoy the result and please do not make any life decisions based on it.

What it is good for

It is a bit of silliness to share. People try it with a crush and screenshot the result, test it on celebrity couples or fictional ones, run it on their own name and a friend's for a laugh, or use it as a cheesy icebreaker. Treat it the way you would a fortune cookie, fun to read, not to be taken seriously.
