HTML input fields margin

I want to make 3/4 input fields next to each other, with a margin in between. However, using a margin makes the last inputfield too big/too short(using calc).



Been trying to figure out how to do this but can't seem to find a solution



How my current CSS code looks like:



input {
background-color: darkgreen;
border: none;
color: white;
padding: 5px;
border-radius: 8px;
width: calc(33% - 20px);
box-sizing: border-box;
margin-right: 20px;
}


Background has a 75% width and padding



Current result



Wanted result

          Hope this work but it will work for one row only



          input {
          background-color: darkgreen;
          border: none;
          color: white;
          flot:left:
          padding: 5px;
          border-radius: 8px;
          width: calc(33.333333% - 20px);
          box-sizing: border-box;
          }

          input + input{
          margin-left: 30px;
          }




          If you want to use for multiple rows then you can use below the structure.






            

          * {
          -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
          -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
          box-sizing: border-box;
          }

          :after,
          :before {
          -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
          -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
          box-sizing: border-box;
          }

          .form-row {
          margin-right: -15px;
          margin-left: -15px;
          }

          .form-row:before,
          .form-row:after {
          display: table;
          content: " ";
          }

          .input-box {
          position: relative;
          min-height: 1px;
          padding-right: 15px;
          padding-left: 15px;
          width: 33.3333333%;
          float: left;
          }

          .input-field {
          display: block;
          width: 100%;
          height: 34px;
          padding: 6px 12px;
          font-size: 14px;
          line-height: 1.42857143;
          color: white;
          background-color: darkgreen;
          border: none;
          border-radius: 8px;
          }

            <div class="form-row">
          <div class="input-box">
          <input type="text" class="input-field" value="input 01">
          </div>
          <div class="input-box">
          <input type="text" class="input-field" value="input 02">
          </div>
          <div class="input-box">
          <input type="text" class="input-field" value="input 03">
          </div>
          </div>

            The problem is that all three of your elements have the full margin-right applied to them. If you want your final <input> element to stretch to the edge of the container, you'll want to only apply the margin-right to the first two <input> elements.



            The best way to do this would be to combine the :not and :last-of-type pseudo-classes, as can be seen in the following:






            input {
            background-color: darkgreen;
            border: none;
            color: white;
            padding: 5px;
            border-radius: 8px;
            width: calc(33% - 20px);
            box-sizing: border-box;
            }

            input:not(:last-of-type) {
            margin-right: 20px;
            }

            <input />
            <input />
            <input />





            Note that this will have the added effect of making all three <input> elements slightly wider, as their width calculation is now derived from a larger container.

                  Hope this work but it will work for one row only



                  input {
                  background-color: darkgreen;
                  border: none;

                  border-radius: 8px;
                  width: calc(33.333333% - 20px);

                      The problem is that all three of your elements have the full margin-right applied to them. If you want your final <input> element to stretch to the edge of the container, you'll want to only apply the margin-right to the first two <input> elements.



                      The best way to do this would be to combine the :not and :last-of-type pseudo-classes, as can be seen in the following:






                      input {
                      background-color: darkgreen;
                      border: none;
                      color: white;
                      padding: 5px;
                      border-radius: 8px;
                      width: calc(33% - 20px);
                      box-sizing: border-box;
                      }

                      input:not(:last-of-type) {
                      margin-right: 20px;
                      }

                      <input />
                      <input />
                      <input />





                      Note that this will have the added effect of making all three <input> elements slightly wider, as their width calculation is now derived from a larger container.

                          border: none;
                          color: white;
                          padding: 5px;
                          border-radius: 8px;
                          width: calc(33% - 20px);
                          box-sizing: border-box;
                          }

                          input:not(:last-of-type) {
                          margin-right: 20px;
                          }

                          <input />
                          <input />
                          <input />





                          Note that this will have the added effect of making all three <input> elements slightly wider, as their width calculation is now derived from a larger container.

                          The problem is that all three of your elements have the full margin-right applied to them. If you want your final <input> element to stretch to the edge of the container, you'll want to only apply the margin-right to the first two <input> elements.



                          The best way to do this would be to combine the :not and :last-of-type pseudo-classes, as can be seen in the following:






                          input {
                          background-color: darkgreen;
                          border: none;
                          color: white;
                          padding: 5px;
                          border-radius: 8px;
                          width: calc(33% - 20px);
                          box-sizing: border-box;
                          }

                          input:not(:last-of-type) {
                          margin-right: 20px;
                          }

                          <input />
                          <input />
                          <input />

                          }

                          input:not(:last-of-type) {
                          margin-right: 20px;
                          }

                          box-sizing: border-box;
                          }

                          input:not(:last-of-type) {
                          margin-right: 20px;
                          }
