Custom Variables Feature - CalcTrail
Define reusable values once and insert them across supported calculators to reduce repetitive input.
Key Benefits
- Reuse constants like tax rates, inflation assumptions, or baseline values.
- Keep shared values consistent across multiple calculation scenarios.
- Reduce manual re-entry and speed up repetitive workflows.
- Import and export variables when you need portability.
How It Works
- Create variables from the right panel variable management flow.
- Name each variable clearly for easier recognition.
- Insert available variables into supported calculator fields.
- Update values centrally so future calculations use current assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are variables global or workspace-specific?
Custom variables are global for each user profile instead of being tied to one workspace.
Can I import or export variables?
Yes. Variable management supports import/export flows.
How are variables used in calculators?
Supported inputs provide variable insertion helpers so reusable values can be applied quickly.
