Answer 1

<form method="POST" action="calc/calc">

That action is calling a relative path, so it will always add an extra /calc on the end of each URL.

To stay on the same URL you can use:

<form method="POST" action="/calc/calc">

Additionally, you may want to use the laravel URL helper function to keep it nicer and future proof:
