I found an online calculator that determines certain parameters I need. However, that calculator can be improved and more information added. I have improved it and now I want to make it public on my new website, however, I don't know anything about online copyright as this is my first attempt to do something similar.
I have copied the HTML page and javascript and customized it to make it better. On the original online calculator and downloaded files, there isn't any copyright claim. Does it mean I have the right to use these newly modified files and publish the improved calculator on my website?

There doesn't (necessarily) need to be a "copyright claim" for there to be a copyright on the work. Copyrights (depending on the country) are automatically given at the time the work is published. A person (or entity) does not have to say "Copyright 2019" for it to exist. So just from a basic understanding of what you did, you are creating a derivative work and are violating the copyright of the original author.

There doesn't need to be any copyright claim for there to be copyright protection. The protection is given automatically whenever someone authors a work.
If you make money off of your improved version, the owner of the page may sue you for royalties.
The only way to avoid this is to ask him for permission, or to create your page without using any of the source code of the original page.

“Making money” is not the be all and end all of copyright violations. Successful claims can and are made against people who do not monetize and successful defenses are made by people who do.
