Reckoner
One who calculates
A reckoner is someone or something that calculates or computes.
Historically, a reckoner was a person skilled in arithmetic, or a book of ready-made calculations—tables for merchants, interest rates, unit conversions: The shopkeeper consulted his reckoner.
The word now appears mostly in figurative or literary contexts: a day of reckoning implies someone keeping accounts of debts or wrongs.
