Determinant Calculator

Calculate the determinant of 2×2 and 3×3 matrices with step-by-step explanations

Select Matrix Size:

When I first learned about determinants in math, I thought they looked a bit scary. The formulas, the rows, the columns… it felt overwhelming at first. But once I understood the steps, it became interesting. Still, doing it by hand for big matrices can take a lot of time, and mistakes can happen. That’s why I made this Determinant Calculator to make the process fast and simple.

This tool is perfect for students, teachers, engineers, and anyone who works with matrices in math or science.

What is a Determinant?

A determinant is a special value you can get from a square matrix. It is useful in many areas of mathematics, like solving systems of equations, finding inverses of matrices, and understanding linear transformations.

For example:

If you have a 2×2 matrix:

| a b |
| c d |

The determinant is ad – bc.

For bigger matrices, the process is more complex, which is why a calculator can save you a lot of time.

How to Use the Determinant Calculator

Enter the Matrix Size – Choose the size of the matrix (2×2, 3×3, etc).
Fill in the Values – Enter the numbers into the matrix boxes.
Click Calculate – The tool will show the determinant immediately.
Use the Result For your homework, projects, or research.

You can change the values at any time and recalculate.
