Oricalculator Paper Estimates

Sometimes you need a strange proportion, and you don't have the correct paper. Thanks to Dennis Walker you can now calculate a more convenient proportion.
On his own website, Dennis has an Excel file that does these same calculations.

Enter the size of the width and height in the fields below, give an acceptable error as percentage and press 'Calculate'.

The units of the sizes are equal to the number you enter, i.e. if you enter the size in inches, the calculated sizes are also in inches.

Have fun!
