About the Matrix Calculator

Performs matrix addition, subtraction, multiplication, transposition, determinant, and inversion for matrices of any compatible size, entered row by row.

How to use it
  1. Enter Matrix A (and Matrix B, if the operation needs it), one row per line.
  2. Choose an Operation.
  3. Read the result below, and copy it with the copy button.
Formula
Determinant uses cofactor expansion. Inverse uses the adjugate matrix divided by the determinant. Multiplication follows standard row-by-column matrix multiplication rules.
Worked example

For matrix A = [[1,2],[3,4]], the determinant is (1×4) − (2×3) = −2.

Recommendations
  • Matrix dimensions must be compatible for the chosen operation — multiplication requires A's column count to match B's row count.
  • A matrix with a zero determinant has no inverse — the tool flags this as a singular matrix.
  • Enter each row on its own line, with values separated by commas or spaces.
Frequently asked questions
A matrix is only invertible if its determinant is nonzero — matrices with a zero determinant (singular matrices) don't have a mathematical inverse.
