Love Calculator
Type two names to get a fun match score out of 100, a band and a reading. It is a hash of the names, not a compatibility test: the same pair always scores the same, and nothing real is being measured.
For entertainment only. The score is a fixed hash of the two names — it is not a compatibility test.
Formula and calculation
Worked example
For Alex and Sam the hash lands on 95%, which is the “Cosmic match” band: “Practically a rom-com plot.” Type the same two names tomorrow, on another phone, and you get the same number — because the score never depended on anything but the letters.
Why the score never changes
The two names are lowercased, trimmed and sorted, then turned into a number by a hash function — a fixed recipe with no randomness in it. That is why “Alex and Sam”, “sam and alex” and “ ALEX ” plus “SAM” all produce the same score, and why the result is identical on a phone, a laptop and a server. It also means there are only 101 possible scores, so two different couples sharing a result is normal rather than meaningful. Nothing about the people behind the names is read, measured or stored.
What the results mean
- Match score
- The match score from 0 to 100. It is a fixed hash of the two names, so the same pair always scores the same — it measures nothing about the people.
- Verdict
- A short label for the score band, from Ice cold (0–19) up to Cosmic match (80–100). It comes from the same hash.
- The reading
- A playful one-line reading picked by a second hash from the score band. Pure entertainment — it says nothing about a real relationship.
Frequently asked questions
Is this love calculator accurate?
No, and it does not try to be. The score is a hash of the two names: fixed, repeatable and completely unrelated to compatibility. Treat it as a fortune cookie you can re-read, not as advice about a real relationship.
Does a nickname change my score?
Yes. Alex, Alexander and Alexa are three different text inputs, and the score depends on nothing but the text, so a nickname gives a different result. Case and spacing do not matter, though: Alex, alex and “ ALEX ” all come out the same.
Why do my partner and I have the same score as another couple?
There are only 101 possible scores, so ties are common — roughly one pair in a hundred lands on any particular score. The number identifies the name pair, not the relationship.
Does the order of the names matter?
No. The two names are sorted before hashing, so Alex and Sam scores the same as Sam and Alex. Type whichever name you like first.
