Is it true that you can use a calculator for both papers, Maths IGCSE foundation?

Ive been looking at the past papers for IGCSE maths and paper 1 and 2 foundation level and both papers say "Calculators may be used"

Im just making sure this is right?

It is correct for Edexcel IGCSE maths Specification A.

The current Cambridge IGCSE specification also allows calculators for all papers, their new syllabus for exams from 2025 does not.

I wasn’t aware of that. Hopefully the switch doesn’t cause too much confusion!
