🧮 Matrix Calculator
Compute matrix addition, subtraction, multiplication, determinant, and inverse for up to 4×4 matrices. Ideal for linear algebra and system of equations checks.
Matrix Calculator
Work with 1×1 up to 4×4 matrices. Compute matrix addition, subtraction, multiplication, determinant, and inverse (when it exists) in a single, visual workspace.

Inverse of A
Only defined for square, non‑singular matrices. Try a 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 with non‑zero determinant.
Inverse of B
Only defined for square, non‑singular matrices. Try a 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 with non‑zero determinant.
Works great for linear algebra exercisesUse it to check hand‑worked Gaussian elimination
How to use this tool
- Choose the dimensions for matrices A and B (from 1×1 up to 4×4).
- Fill in the entries using real numbers (decimals allowed) for each matrix element.
- Read off matrix addition, subtraction, multiplication, determinants, and inverses in the results panel.
Designed as a matrix inverse and determinant calculator
- Quickly verify answers from linear algebra homework with a visual matrix calculator.
- Experiment with different matrix sizes to see when matrix multiplication, determinants, and inverses are defined.
- Use determinants and inverses to understand when systems of equations have unique solutions versus no or infinite solutions.
What this online matrix calculator supports
- Matrix addition, subtraction, and multiplication for matrices up to 4×4.
- Determinant computation via Gaussian elimination (determinant calculator for 2×2, 3×3, and 4×4).
- Matrix inversion using an augmented matrix and row operations (matrix inverse calculator for square, non‑singular matrices).
FAQ
- Can this matrix calculator handle very large matrices?
- This tool focuses on small matrices (up to 4×4) ideal for teaching and exam questions rather than huge numerical problems or high‑dimensional numerical linear algebra.
- How are determinants and inverses computed in this matrix inverse calculator?
- Determinants use an elimination‑based approach and inverses are computed via Gauss–Jordan elimination on an augmented matrix [A | I], matching standard linear algebra techniques.
- Why do I sometimes see no matrix inverse?
- If a square matrix has determinant 0, it is singular and has no inverse. Try changing a row or column to make it full rank so the inverse exists.
