About this calculator
The Combination Calculator gives you a quick way to work through a calculation. Enter your n and r; it then returns the result, worked out with the standard method the moment you calculate. It runs fully in the browser, so it is private by design and works offline once loaded.
It suits students and anyone checking their working wanting the result fast, with no fuss. The page is free, runs in your browser, and stores nothing once you close the tab.
How to use
- Enter n, the total number of items.
- Enter r, how many you choose.
- Press Calculate to compute C(n, r).
- Read the number of combinations, with permutations shown for comparison.

Technical notes
Combination Calculator counts selections where order does not matter using C(n, r) = n! / (r!·(n−r)!).
Inputs are taken exactly as entered, so check for typos before trusting an answer.
The tool works offline once loaded, since every computation is client-side.
FAQ
What is the difference between a combination and a permutation?
A combination counts selections where order does not matter; a permutation counts arrangements where order does matter, so P(n, r) is always at least as large as C(n, r).
Are large results exact?
Yes. Combinations are computed with exact integer arithmetic, so even very large values like C(60, 30) are returned precisely rather than rounded.
Do n and r have to be whole numbers?
Yes. You are counting whole items, so both n and r must be non-negative whole numbers with r no greater than n.
Does the Combination Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Combination Calculator runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or shared.
Worked example
Choose 2 from 5: C(5,2) = 5! ÷ (2! × 3!) = 120 ÷ 12 = 10 combinations.
