computes
Works out mathematically
Computes is the third-person singular of compute, meaning to calculate or determine by mathematical or logical methods.
A machine computes equations; a mind computes odds.
The software computes your tax liability automatically.
In casual use, something that computes makes sense or adds up: His excuse just doesn't compute.
