# Check a Grant Match Quoted as a Percentage of Grant Dollars — Free

“Twenty-percent match” is incomplete without a denominator. For awards that explicitly apply the percentage to grant dollars, show the required match and each grant’s remaining gap without borrowing another line’s surplus.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Community groups checking the arithmetic of a confirmed grant-dollar match rule

## What's free

- one complete unwatermarked match-denominator docket run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- unlimited subsequent match-denominator docket app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the match-denominator docket with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed match dollars still needed and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups
