The HP-45 is the second scientific pocket calculator introduced by Hewlett-Packard, adding to the features of the HP-35. It was introduced in 1973^[1] with an MSRP of US$395^[2] (equivalent to $2,711 in 2023).^[3] Especially noteworthy was its pioneering addition of a shift key that gave other keys alternate functions.

The calculator was code-named Wizard,^[4] which is the first known use of a code name for a calculator.
It also contained an Easter egg that allowed users to access a not-especially accurate stopwatch mode.^[5]^[6] An accurate version of the stopwatch mode was officially featured in the 1975 successor of the HP-45, the HP-55.

The display of the HP-45 hidden timer showing 00 hours 00 minutes 07 seconds and 58/100 second.
