← The Air Math

Put this calculator on your site. Free, forever.

It answers the question people actually ask before they buy an air purifier — what clean-air delivery rate does my room need, and what will it cost to run? It also tells them when one unit isn't enough, which most retailers won't.

What it looks like

The code

Paste this wherever you want it to appear. That's the whole installation.

<iframe src="https://theairmath.pages.dev/widget.html"
        width="100%" height="720" style="border:0;border-radius:16px"
        loading="lazy" title="Air purifier size calculator"></iframe>

Works in WordPress (Custom HTML block), Ghost, Squarespace, Webflow, Notion embeds and plain HTML.

Optional: make it resize itself

The widget posts its height to the parent page. If you can add a script tag, this removes any empty space or inner scrollbar:

<script>
window.addEventListener('message', function (e) {
  if (e.data && e.data.airmathHeight) {
    var f = document.querySelector('iframe[src*="theairmath"]');
    if (f) f.style.height = e.data.airmathHeight + 'px';
  }
});
</script>

The terms, in plain language

Why the numbers are trustworthy

The formula is the standard one: required CADR equals room volume times target air changes per hour, divided by 60. Coverage figures assume maximum fan speed in a closed single room, which is how AHAM rates them and how the EPA recommends sizing. Unit specifications come from published manufacturer data.

We have not physically tested these units and we say so on every page. What we do instead is show the working, so anyone can check it — including you, before you put it in front of your readers.

If you spot an error, tell us and we'll change it rather than quietly leave it.

Want a different one?

We run the same kind of calculator for water filters and bathroom running costs. If an embeddable version of one of those would suit your audience better, ask and we'll build it.
