If you really are on Big Sur (11.n), then the calculator widget was dropped by Apple. You can send feedback directly to the macOS product team requesting its return to future updates of Big Sur, but not for Catalina.


If you are on Catalina, then Apple dropped Dashboard altogether and there are no Dashboard widgets either. There might be a Calculator that you can enable from System Preferences > Extensions (again, on Catalina only).
