calculates
Works out numbers
Calculates means to determine a number or amount through mathematical operations, or more broadly, to figure something out through careful reasoning.
She calculates the tip in her head.
Beyond pure math, calculate often implies strategic thinking or deliberate planning: a calculated risk is one taken after weighing the odds.
When someone calculates, they're working something out methodically rather than guessing or going on instinct.
