What Your Score Means
Our Friendship Calculator uses a special algorithm. It looks at the letters in both names. This helps create a unique score for your friendship. Each letter has a hidden meaning in our system.
A higher score suggests a strong connection. A lower score means there's room to grow. Remember, this tool is just for fun. Real friendships are built over time.
Score Breakdown
| Score Range | Friendship Level | What It Means |

| 90-100% | Best Buds | A very strong and lasting bond. |
| 70-89% | Good Friends | You share many good times and trust. |
| 40-69% | Casual Friends | You enjoy spending time together. |
| 0-39% | New Friends | This friendship is just starting out. |
Tips to Get More Out of It
What the friendship score is actually based on
Behind the button is a small piece of arithmetic. The tool joins both names into one lowercase string, converts every character to its computer code (a is 97, z is 122), and adds them all up. That total is divided by 101, and the remainder becomes your percentage.
There is one kindness built in. If the remainder lands below 35, the score is lifted to 35 plus a second, smaller remainder — so the lowest result you can ever see is 35%. Nothing is random: the same two names produce the same score every time, today and next year. The letters decide, not the friendship, which is worth remembering if your best friend of twenty years scores a 41.
Joined and lowercased, mayazoe adds up to 758 across its seven letters. Divide by 101 and the remainder is 51, so Maya and Zoe score 51% — Casual Friends on the table above. Run it again next week and it will still be 51.
miachloe totals 834, and 834 divided by 101 leaves 26 — below the cut-off. So the floor rule steps in: 35 plus the remainder of 834 divided by 40, which is 34. Final score 69%, right at the top of Casual Friends, without a single letter changing.
Things Worth Knowing
- Same engine, different question. It scores how well two names sit together as friends - no romance weighting - so the result reads as compatibility, not chemistry.
- Best used on the group chat. Run everyone against everyone and watch the argument about who scored lowest do more bonding than the scores themselves.
- A low score settles nothing. Twenty years of shared history beats two names and an algorithm, every time.
Try These Next
For the romantic version of the same question there is the love calculator, and if the friendship is heading somewhere else entirely, the crush calculator was made for exactly that suspicion.
