Love Calculator FAQ

Answers about the Love Calculator, from the name game to the check-in.

Last Updated: November 12, 2026

1. Basics

Q1: What is the Love Calculator?

A1: A free page with four parts: a name game that fills a heart from two names, a relationship check-in of twelve statements, Sparks (questions to ask, date ideas, small gestures and a who is more likely game) and Us, which counts your days together and keeps what you saved.

Q2: Is it free, and do I need an account?

A2: It is free and there is no account or registration. Like every page on ZeroDataUpload, it is supported by advertising.

Q3: Are the names I type uploaded?

A3: No. Everything you type is worked out and kept in this browser on your device. The page itself, its ads and its analytics load from the internet as on any website, but the names, answers and dates are never sent with them.

Q4: What is kept in my browser?

A4: The two names and how you described yourselves, the last six results, the last twelve check-in scores (not the answers), up to 40 saved sparks and the day you got together. Nothing is kept until you calculate, finish a check-in, save a spark or pick a date. Clear everything saved on this device, at the bottom of the Us tab, removes it all.

Q5: Which browsers does it work in?

A5: Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on computers and phones. Copy result uses the browser's clipboard; where a browser blocks it, the result appears in a box to copy by hand.

Q6: Can I use it with the keyboard?

A6: Yes. Tab reaches every button and box, the arrow keys move between the four tabs, Enter in a name box calculates, and Escape closes the window that asks before clearing everything.

2. The Name Score

Q7: Is the score accurate?

A7: No calculator can measure love, and this one does not try. The score is a game made from the letters of the two names. It says nothing about the people or how a relationship is going, so enjoy it as a bit of fun.

Q8: How is the score worked out?

A8: Both names are written in small letters, with extra spaces and invisible characters left out, and put in alphabetical order. Their letters are then mixed into one large number by a fixed formula, and that number becomes a score from 58 to 100.

Q9: Why do we always get the same score?

A9: The formula is fixed and has no chance in it, so the same two names always give the same score, in either order. Nobody can press again until a better number comes up. One different letter, such as a nickname, gives a different score.

Q10: Why is the score never below 58?

A10: The game was made to be friendly: every pair gets a warm result between 58 and 100. A lower number would not mean anything either.

Q11: How often does 100% come up?

A11: For about one pair of names in 43. Typing the same name in both boxes also fills the heart to the top, with a note that self-love comes first.

Q12: Do capitals, spaces or accents change the score?

A12: No. RAHUL, rahul and Rahul with extra spaces give the same score, and a name with an accent typed two different ways (as one character, or as a letter followed by an accent mark, as some keyboards do) is counted as the same name.

Q13: What does "We are" change?

A13: Only the last line of the reading: a line for dating, engaged, married or a crush. The score stays the same.

Q14: How is the couple name made?

A14: From the first half of the first name and the second half of the second, with a small adjustment so the join sounds natural, as in Rahul and Priya making Rahriya. It is made for first names in Latin letters; for other names no couple name is shown.

Q15: What are the four meters?

A15: Spark, Friendship, Laughter and Adventure are made from the names in the same way as the score, as a bit of fun. They are not measurements.

Q16: Can I share the result?

A16: Copy result copies a line such as Rahul + Priya = 83% on the Love Calculator, a name game just for fun, to paste into a chat. Nothing is posted anywhere by the tool itself.

3. The Check-in

Q17: What is the check-in?

A17: Twelve statements, two for each of six parts of a relationship: talking, trust, affection, time together, teamwork, and fun and appreciation. You answer each from Never to Always. It takes about two minutes.

Q18: How is it scored?

A18: Each answer counts from 0 (Never) to 100 (Always) in steps of 25. Each part's score is the average of its two statements, and the overall score is the average of the six parts. Answered together, each part shows both scores and the overall score uses their average.

Q19: Is it a test or a diagnosis?

A19: No. It is not a scientific test and gives no verdict on anyone. It reflects only your own answers, as a way to notice what is going well and start a conversation about one small thing to try.

Q20: How do we answer together?

A20: Choose Answer together. One of you answers the twelve statements, then passes the device to the other, whose answers start fresh and stay hidden until the end. The result shows both scores for each part and the statements where your answers differ by two steps or more.

Q21: What are the ideas in the result?

A21: For the one or two parts that scored lowest (below 75), the result shows three simple ideas and one thing to try tonight. When every part is 75 or more, it shows three ways to keep it up.

Q22: Why does it mention a counsellor or a helpline?

A22: When the overall score is below 50, it notes that seeing a couples counsellor together can help. When the score is below 50 or trust is below 40, it also says plainly that if you ever feel afraid of your partner or unsafe at home, tips are not the answer, and to talk to someone you trust, a local helpline or, in an emergency, your local emergency number.

Q23: Are my answers saved?

A23: Only the overall score, the date and whether you answered alone or together, for the last twelve check-ins, so the Us tab can show whether things have moved. The answers themselves are not kept.

4. Sparks and Us

Q24: What are Sparks?

A24: Four decks: 30 questions to ask each other, 24 date ideas (at home or going out), 24 little gestures for today, and a who is more likely game of ten rounds. Show another deals the next card; each deck starts with a pick for today.

Q25: How do I save a spark?

A25: Press Save on the card. Saved sparks are listed on the Us tab, up to 40, where Remove takes one off the list.

Q26: How does who is more likely work?

A26: Ten statements such as who is more likely to fall asleep during a film. Decide together and press the name; the names come from the Calculator or the check-in, or Partner 1 and Partner 2. The final score is shown at the end.

Q27: How are the days together counted?

A27: Pick the day you got together. The Us tab shows the days since then, the same time in years, months and days, the next anniversary and the next round hundred and thousand days. Dates from 1900 up to today can be picked.

Q28: What happens to an anniversary on 29 February?

A28: In years without a 29 February it falls on 28 February, and a year from 29 February counts as one year on 28 February.

Q29: How do I remove everything?

A29: Press Clear everything saved on this device at the bottom of the Us tab and confirm. It removes only this tool's saved data; other tools on the site keep theirs.

Q30: How is it different from the site's other tools?

A30: The Decision Maker, SpinForge and Flip the Coin pick at random between options you give them. The Love Calculator is a name game for two people, with a check-in about your relationship, conversation cards, a who is more likely game and a count of your days together.
