I quite often use a calculator on my computer. Until now I have put up with using the built in Microsoft Windows Calculator. It does everything I want, yet it has one important feature lacking. It does not allow me to set it to “stay on top” of the other windows. Pretty much the only time I use the PC calculator is when I need to calculate data for something else I am working on, on the computer. So not being able to set the calculator to stay on top is a real hassle.
I have taken a look around at the free alternative calculators. Here’s some info on what I found (this list will grow beyond what’s on there now):
Moffsoft Freecalc

This calculator does the trick nicely. It has all the basic functions one might need from a calculator, and most importantly it has a “stay on top” mode.
Moffsoft FreeCalc is a great replacement for your existing Windows® calculator. We took the standard Windows calculator functionality and added the following features:
- Adjustable calculator size - Make it any size you want and Moffsoft FreeCalc will remember the size and position next time you use it.
- Tape - Save, print, or clear the simulated paper history tape.
- Color schemes - Select a color combination or use your Windows color settings.
- New keys - Clear Tape {CT}, double zero {00}, triple zero {000}, and memory subtract {M-} keys have been added.
- Visible memory value - You’ll always know what’s in memory because it’s displayed on the calculator status bar.
- Option settings - Flat buttons, always on top, tray icon, run on startup, and hiding the tape are some of the calculator options.
- Digit groupings - Number groupings for easy to read numbers.
- International support - Digit grouping and decimal point characters change based on your regional settings.
- Tray icon - Turn on the tray icon for quick and easy access.
- System requirements - Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP
