Love calculator
The love calculator gives a love percentage for two names: type both names and the classic letter-counting game works it out instantly. Mia and Jack score 81%. It is a game for friends, couples and the playground – number fun, not a relationship diagnosis.

How it is calculated
How the love calculator works
The calculator uses the well-known letter-counting game. From “Name 1 + loves + Name 2” it counts how often each letter occurs, in order of first appearance. Neighbouring numbers are added (only the last digit is kept), row by row, until two digits remain. Those are the love percentage. The number triangle shows every step.
- Anna + Ben: count 2 3 1 1 1 2 1 1 → 5 4 2 2 3 3 2 → … → 31%
- Capitals, accents, spaces and hyphens do not matter
- The same names always give the same result; swapping the order can change it
How seriously to take it
Not at all: the method knows letters, not people. Whether two people suit each other depends on trust, conversations and time together. As a party game, icebreaker or pastime the calculator is still fun.
What the percentages mean
The comments under the result are tongue in cheek: under 25% “more like friendship”, from 90% “dream score”. There is no official scale.
Privacy
The names are processed only in your browser. They are neither saved nor passed on in a link – unlike most calculators on this site.
Honest limits
A percentage from letters is chance with rules. It replaces neither a conversation nor advice, and it is not a test of a relationship.
Frequently asked questions
How does the love calculator work?
It counts the letters of “Name 1 loves Name 2”, adds neighbouring numbers row by row and reads the percentage from the last two digits.
How accurate is the love calculator?
It is a game with no scientific value. The result depends only on the letters in the names.
Is there a love calculator by date of birth?
This one works with names only. Other games use birth dates, for example by zodiac sign.
Does the love calculator save the names?
No. The names stay in your browser and are neither stored nor put into links.
Why does the result change if I swap the names?
Letters are counted in order of first appearance. Swapping the names changes that order and therefore the number sequence.
