Love calculator by name

A love calculator turns two names into a compatibility score out of 100. This one shows its working: the formula is published further down, every factor that fed the number appears next to the result, and the same two names always produce the same score. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent anywhere — the whole calculation happens inside this page.

Right now you are

Everything is calculated in your browser. What you type never leaves this page.

How to use it

  1. Enter the first name

    Type the name you want to check. First names work best, but a full name is fine too — just keep each field in a single alphabet.

  2. Enter the second name

    Add the other person's name. The two fields may use different alphabets: Priya and Иван is a perfectly valid pair.

  3. Pick where you are right now

    Friends, crushing, in love or partners. This changes the wording of the interpretation underneath, never the number itself.

  4. Press Calculate

    The love percentage appears with a breakdown of every factor that produced it, so you can see exactly where the number came from.

  5. Share the card

    Build an image with your result and send it on. The names live only inside that picture — they never travel through a link.

How the love percentage is calculated

Most love calculators keep their formula to themselves. This one publishes it, and the result screen shows every part of it. Both names are cleaned up the same way first: spacing is normalised, capitals are folded, curly apostrophes and long dashes become plain ones, and accents inside Latin names are reduced, so José and Jose count as the same name.

The pair is then sorted into a fixed order, which is why swapping the two fields never changes the answer. Four factors are measured. Shared letters carries the most weight at 40 percent: it compares how many letters the two names genuinely have in common against the total pool of letters between them.

First letters adds 25 percent, based on how close the two initials sit in their own alphabet. Vowel balance adds 20 percent, comparing the proportion of vowels in each name. Name lengths adds the final 15 percent, dividing the shorter name by the longer one.

Each factor is rounded before it is used, the four weighted parts are added, and the total is rounded once more into a whole number between 0 and 100. There is no hidden term and no random element.

Love calculator for Indian names

Indian names are where name-based calculators most often behave badly, so it is worth saying exactly how this one treats them. Names are compared as they are written, in whichever alphabet you type them. Devanagari input is handled by the same rules as Latin input, and letters are compared as full grapheme clusters rather than raw code points — so क्षि counts as the one letter a reader sees, not as the three pieces it is stored as.

That distinction is the usual reason a calculator gives an Indian name a strange length or a strange score. Transliteration is deliberately not attempted. Priya and प्रिया are different sequences of letters, so they give different scores, and the calculator does not quietly guess that they are the same name.

Guessing across alphabets is unreliable in both directions, and a wrong guess would change someone's result without ever showing that it had. If you want the pair scored the way it is usually written, type both names in the same alphabet.

Questions people ask

How does this love calculator work?

It compares the spelling of the two names. Four things are measured and weighted: letters the names share, how close the two initials are, the balance of vowels, and the difference in length. Those four are combined into a single number out of 100. The full formula is written out above, and the result screen shows each factor separately.

Is a love calculator accurate?

Not in the sense people usually mean. It measures spelling, and spelling has nothing to do with whether two people get on. What this one can honestly promise is that the arithmetic is correct, published and repeatable — no hidden terms, no randomness. Treat the number as a game, and treat any calculator claiming scientific accuracy with suspicion.

Is this love calculator safe to use?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no email and no app to install. The names are never sent to a server, because the calculation runs inside your browser and there is no server to send them to. They are not written into the address bar or saved on your device either, so nothing you typed is left behind once you close the tab.

Can I work out the same score on paper?

Yes, and that is rather the point of publishing the formula. Write both names out, count the letters they share against the total, compare the initials, the vowel proportions and the two lengths, then weight the four results by 40, 25, 20 and 15 percent. You will land on the same number this page gives you.

Why do the same two names always give the same percentage?

Because the calculation is fixed arithmetic on the two names, with nothing random in it and no reference to today's date. Enter the same pair next year and the number will be identical. That is deliberate: a score that drifted between visits would be entertainment pretending to be measurement, and you could never check it.

Does it work with names in Hindi, Tamil or other alphabets?

Latin, Cyrillic and Devanagari are all supported, and each field can use a different one. Letters are counted the way a reader sees them, so a Devanagari cluster is one letter, not several. Names in scripts outside those three are not scored — the tool says so plainly rather than returning a meaningless zero.

What about date of birth — does that change the result?

This calculator uses names only, so dates make no difference to it. That is a separate question with a separate method, and mixing the two would hide which one produced the number. If dates are what you actually want compared, the birthday compatibility tool linked below is built for exactly that.
