Build a Beautiful Calculator Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (With Source Code)

This is a basic calculator with a clean interface. It handles addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The layout is built using HTML, the design is handled with CSS (dark theme), and JavaScript does all the logic—input handling, validation, and calculation.

Beautiful Calculator Using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Why I Built This

I created this project as part of my personal mission: to turn real ideas into real, working code—and then share it with the world.

Like many developers, I started with tutorials and theory. But what truly improved my skills was building things—projects that could run, break, and be fixed again. That’s exactly what this calculator is. It’s simple, clean, and fully functional. It doesn’t use any libraries or frameworks—just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

But more importantly, it’s something you can learn from, extend, or even completely rebuild in your own way.

Introducing the Project

This is a basic calculator web app that performs all primary arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It’s designed with a dark theme, responsive layout, and smooth functionality.

Whether you're a beginner wanting to understand how a UI connects with logic, or a more experienced developer looking for a lightweight project to remix, this calculator offers a solid starting point.

  1. No frameworks

  2. Simple file structure

  3. Self-contained logic

  4. 100% open-source

Get the Source Code on GitHub

I’ve made the entire project open-source on GitHub, with clean, readable code and clear structure.

Why You Should Use (or Build) This

Whether you’re a beginner in web development or someone brushing up their frontend skills, this calculator is a great way to:

  • Learn how structure (HTML) connects with style (CSS) and functionality (JS)

  • Understand the basics of event handling and input validation

  • Practice building interactive web applications

  • See how a real, finished web component looks like

It’s not just code—it’s an example of idea-to-execution.

What You’ll Learn

By going through the project, you’ll get practical experience in:

  • Writing clean and semantic HTML

  • Designing responsive and visually appealing layouts with CSS

  • Handling user input, button events, and basic validation in JavaScript

  • Avoiding common UX mistakes like double operators or broken expressions

  • Structuring files for real-world usage

Even though this is a small app, the skills are highly transferable to larger projects.

Want More Projects Like This?

This calculator is just the beginning. My goal is to build a collection of practical, real-world projects—and share them with you. Every project I post will come with full source code and a clear explanation so you can not only use it but learn from it.

  1. No fluff

  2. No clickbait

  3. Just code you can use and grow from.
