PX to REM accuracy and testing
This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.
Formula source
- **REM = Pixels / Root Font Size** If your root size is 16px (default), then 16px = 1rem, 24px = 1.5rem, and 32px = 2rem.
Test cases
Default input regression check
Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.
Inputs
- Pixels: 24
- Root Font Size: 16 px
Expected outputs
- REM Value: 1.5 rem
- CSS Snippet: font-size: 1.5rem; /* 24px */
Known limitations
- This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
- Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.
Assumptions
- The conversion assumes a single root font size for the page or app section you are styling.
- Results are displayed in REM with rounding that favors readable CSS over excessive decimals.
- The generated snippet focuses on `font-size`, but the same numeric conversion can apply to spacing and layout values.
Unit handling
- Pixels accepts numeric values.
- Root Font Size accepts values in px.
Rounding rules
- Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
