Love Calculator
Curious about your romantic compatibility? Enter your name and your partner's name below to discover your love compatibility percentage.

This calculator is for entertainment purposes only. Real love is built on trust, communication, and shared values.
How the Love Calculator Works
Our love calculator uses a simple but consistent name-based algorithm to generate a compatibility score between two people. Here is how the process works:
- Name processing: Both names are converted to lowercase and stripped of extra spaces. This ensures that capitalization and formatting differences do not affect the result.
- Character value summation: The algorithm converts each character in the combined names into its Unicode character code and sums them all together. This creates a unique numerical fingerprint for each name pair.
- Hash-based scoring: The combined value is processed through a modular arithmetic function that produces a percentage. A bias toward the 50-99 range ensures the results lean toward optimistic outcomes, making the experience more enjoyable.
- Rating assignment: Based on the final percentage, a compatibility rating is assigned ranging from "Keep Looking" to "Soulmates!"
The key feature of this algorithm is consistency: entering the same two names will always produce the same result, which makes it feel more believable and fun to share with friends.
Understanding Your Compatibility Rating
Your love compatibility score falls into one of four categories:
- 0-30% -- Keep Looking: According to the calculator, this pairing may face some challenges. But remember, some of the strongest couples in history would have scored low on name-based tests. Compatibility is about far more than letters in a name.
- 31-60% -- There's Potential: This is a middle-ground score that suggests an interesting dynamic. Many successful relationships start with differences that complement each other.
- 61-80% -- Strong Connection: A high compatibility score suggests a natural harmony between the two names. Whether it translates to real life is entirely up to the two people involved.
- 81-100% -- Soulmates!: The highest rating the calculator can give. While it is purely for fun, getting a soulmates score certainly makes for a great story to tell.
