How to Make a Working & Animated Calculator with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Hello, Readers 👋 welcome to my new blog! Today, I’m going to show you how to build a simple yet stylish calculator with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Unlike a basic calculator, this one will include animations and a transparent glassmorphism design, making it look modern and unique.

Why Build Your Own Calculator?

Calculators are one of the best beginner-friendly JavaScript projects because they teach you:

How to handle user input

Basic DOM manipulation

Logic for operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

Styling with CSS for a smooth UI

Most calculators just handle math operations, but with creativity, you can add features like animated bubbles and glass-style transparency to stand out.

For example, in the gaming world, Path of Exile players use tools like the Vorici Calculator to save time and resources when rolling socket colors. Just like that tool adds smart functionality for gamers, your calculator project adds a fun, useful twist to learning web development.

Features of This Calculator

  • Transparent glassmorphism effect
  • Bubble animation background
  • Basic math operations (+, -, ×, ÷)
  • Easy-to-edit code

HTML Structure

We’ll start with the index.html file to create the calculator container and button layout.
(Code included in tutorial section)

CSS Styling

Next, we’ll use style.css for:

  • Fonts and background gradient
  • Bubble animations
  • Glassmorphism effect
  • Button hover interactions

JavaScript Logic

Finally, we add simple JavaScript inside our HTML to evaluate expressions and make the calculator functional.

Preview & Source Code

  • Full tutorial code is provided in this blog.
  • Preview of the animated calculator will be shared in my next post.

Final Thoughts

Building projects like this is the best way to practice your JavaScript skills while making something visually attractive. Just like how the Vorici Chrome Calculator saves players in PoE from wasting resources, your calculator project saves you from coding boredom while sharpening your web dev skills.

So, grab your code editor and start building
