The Google search bar is an excellent calculator, because it understands words too. You can do "50 million * 3%" and it will answer "one million five hundred thousand". That's easier to interpret than a whole bunch of zeros. It also interprets units "20 mph * 3 hours" = "96.56064 kilometers". "20 mph * 3 hours as miles" = "60 miles". Also the auto-suggest feature completes calculations so you don't even need to hit enter.
