Calculate golden-ratio dimensions and related scale values from a chosen base measurement.
Example Golden Ratio Calculator result Proportion result - Missing value x: 12 - Cross-products: 2×12 = 3×8 = 24 - Review the input unit and rounding rule Next step: compare the two cross-products or test a second known proportion
How to use Golden Ratio Calculator
Common uses include Plan layout proportions, Build typography scales, Compare visual ratios.
- Open Golden Ratio Calculator and enter the three known values in a:b = c:x.
- Keep a, b, and c in compatible units and make sure the divisor is not zero. Focus first on Plan layout proportions.
- Calculate x, then compare a×x with b×c to verify the proportion. Use the next pass to Compare visual ratios.
- Record x together with the input values, unit, and rounding rule before you Build typography scales.
Useful for
- Plan layout proportions
- Build typography scales
- Compare visual ratios
