+===== Calculate Token =====
+The //%Calculate%//**<formula>**//%// [[:Tokens|token]] returns the **numeric** result of performing a calculation,
+where //**`<formula>`**// may be any of the following:
+  * Mathematical formula like `(2 + 3)*12`
+  * Use any [[token:Variable|Variable]] which may be evaluated as a number
+    * :!:  Just enter the Variable Name (without the `%`) in the Calculate token **`<formula>`**
+    * Examples:
+      * `%Calculate%MyVar + 1%`
+      * `%Calculate%(MyVarWordsPerSec * 60)/MyVarWordsPerPage%`
+  * Use any of the built-in Keyboard Maestro [functions](:Functions), like [[function:RANDOM|RANDOM(10)]]
+  * Get the numeric value of an Variable array element, like `MyVar[2]`, if MyVar is `10,05,12,08` returns `5` (Arrays may contain only numeric data)
+**Example Action**
+{{:token:km-7.3-calculate-token-example.png?nolink|}}
+A reminder that the following are only equivalent if the [[token:Variable|Variable]] is numeric:
+* %Variable%Count% (Variable)
+* %Calculate%Count% (Number)
+So, if MyVar is "`005`", then\\
+  * %Variable%MyVar% will return `005`
+  * %Calculate%MyVar% will return `5`
+===== See Also =====
+=== Tokens ===
+* [[Hex|%Hex%]] token
+* [[Dec|%Dec%]] token
+* [[Oct|%Oct%]] token
+* [[Bin|% Bin%]] token
+* [[/Tokens|All Tokens]]
-This allows you to include any [function](:Functions) in a text field.
