Island planner
Small calculators for the questions that come up before a trip or a storm: what to pack, when the sun sets, how much sunscreen to bring, what a restaurant bill comes to and how much water a household needs.

- Sunrise and sunsetSunrise, sunset, solar noon and golden hour for Nassau, Freeport, Exuma, Inagua and five more Bahamian islands, worked out from NOAA's solar equations.
- Sunscreen calculatorWork out how much sunscreen to pack for the Bahamas from your party, days, hours outside and swims, in millilitres, fluid ounces and 3 oz or 6 oz bottles.
- Bill and tip calculatorCheck a Bahamian restaurant bill: 10 per cent VAT, the service charge, any extra tip and an even split, with the maths explained and why bills differ.
- Hurricane supplies calculatorWork out the water, meals, torches and medicine your household needs for a hurricane in the Bahamas, using the gallon-a-day rule, with a worked example.
