Memory Functions

The memory is preserved across all uses and all instances of the calculator in a session. When the memory is active (contains a figure other than zero) the M at the top of the keypad is bold. When the memory is inactive (contains zero), the M at the top of the keypad is grey.

Last Operator

The last operator selected is displayed between the Memory Indicator and the Decimal Places.

Decimal Places

The extended edit calculator sets the number of decimal places to match the decimal places for the edit control. The desktop calculator uses a default of 2 decimal places. The figure between and indicates the number of decimal places set for the calculator. Figures in the calculator are stored to maximum accuracy. The number of decimal places selected simply determines the number shown and the value pasted back into an edit control. To round a figure before pasting it back into an edit control, reduce the number of decimal places before accepting the figure.

Tax Functions

Perform tax or GST calculations. Tax is calculated at the default rate set in GST Codes & Rates for the base Tax Regime. Click the relevant operator, then press T or click the button to perform the functions listed below.

Buttons	Keystrokes	Function
	+ T	Add tax to the amount.
	- T	Deduct tax from the amount.
	* T	Calculate the tax to be added to the amount.
	/ T	Calculate the tax included in the amount.

Extended Edit Control Functions
