I have use the tool box calculators in the past but today I put in my info and I don't get anything for the answer. Trying to figure a tie beam for a roof system.
Like the one in the picture.

From the pic you should be using this calc for that beam:

Midspan Point Loaded Simple Beam (forestryforum.com)

I just ran a test using Microsoft Edge with no trouble.
Firefox checks

Which calc and what was the trouble?

I figured out what i was doing wrong i put in the inch marks when ask for width. I did the one with equal loading and it work and past. But i need the one for center loading and it doesn't tell me that it passes or fails unless I don't now how to read it

It tells you what is required, and what you input, compare the two to see if you put in enough.  If the input is less than the required, you failed.

I use some of these little enough I didn't jazz em up much.
