Using variable names without underscores will get you closer to the functionality you are after as in the following. #+BEGIN_SRC calc :var expenses=1234 :var income=4321 12*(income-expenses) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : 37044 However, code blocks are used more like regular stack calc mode as in the following example. #+begin_src calc 24 3 '/ #+end_src #+RESULTS: : 8 If you'd rather write something looking more like your example, I'd recommend either using any programming language with nice simple syntax, e.g., #+BEGIN_SRC python :var derp_expenses=1234 :var derp_income=4315 monthly_balance=derp_income - derp_expenses return monthly_balance*12 #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : 36972 or using calc embedded mode directly.
