Each app

Best pick for each situation

• iPhone, paid: QuickBend. A long-established choice with radius-aware math, number-pad or slider input, and compound 90s.
• iPad: Master Bender Gold, if you want its bending method on a larger screen.
• Free, any phone: IDEAL Electrician's Sidekick for occasional bends alongside other electrical calculators; Conduit Bending by McAnswer (Android) or by xNeat.com (iPhone) if you only need simple offsets.
• Android, paid, one bend at a time: QuickBend or Conduit Bender Elite; both are long established.
• Android, paid, whole jobs: Conduit Bending Calculator (ours) if you want every mark from one pipe end, saved named jobs, a guide mode and NEC fill in one app.

Check any app with three test bends

Before you trust an app on the job, enter these three bends and compare its answers with the common field rules below. Field-rule answers are approximate benchmarks, not tolerances: apps that use exact geometry, other rounding rules or a specific shoe can return different values (pure trigonometry puts the saddle’s outer marks about 5-1/4" from center, not 5"). When an answer differs, check the selected bender, angle, take-up and the point the app measures from, and confirm critical bends with the maker’s instructions and a test bend.

Also check where the app measures from: the distance between marks, or each mark from the end of the conduit. Both are correct; they just put the tape in a different place. You can work the same bends on this site's free offset, saddle and stub-up calculators.

How to choose

• Your phone: several of the best-known apps are iPhone-first; check Android availability.
• How marks are given: distance between bends only, or marks measured from the end of the pipe? The second is what you actually put on the conduit.
• Math: field multipliers match what your crew does; radius-aware math accounts for the selected bender’s centerline radius. Real results still depend on the shoe, material and technique, so check critical marks in the field.
• Input: check whether you can type fractions the way your tape reads them; some apps offer a keypad, sliders or both.
• Price model: one-time price, subscription, or free with paywalls.

Free on the web

If you only need a quick answer, the calculators on this site are free in any browser: offset, stub-up, 3-point saddle, 4-point saddle, back-to-back 90s, kicks, conduit fill and box fill, among others.
