Probably nothing, except make your life much easier. If you prefer to do more work and have plenty of time, then feel free to use a calculator, paper, and your brain.

Why is a spreadsheet different to a calculator?
A spreadsheet has much more capabilities than a calculator. There are far more built in functions than a calculator. You can do things like list all your figures on the spreadsheet, so that you can see them all at once, which you can't do on a calculator. Without having to type them all in again, you can do further calculations on the same figures. You can easily change figures to try different things. You can have all sorts of subtotals and use them for further calculations. You can save all your figures in a file. These are just a few of the advantages. There are many, many more. A calculator is handy for a quick and simple calculation, but if you want to do anything more than that, a spreadsheet is a better option. A spreadsheet is a calculator and a lot more besides that.

How are databases and spreadsheets similar?
The data relational model is to do with databases. While you can do databases with a spreadsheet, it is limited compared to a standard database product and it is difficult to implement the relational model effectively. Relational databases use tables that are connected to each other. Spreadsheets lay out data in tabular form and it is possible to have relations between separate tables, but not in the way that it is done in a database. A database sets up a table in a more specialised format and only holds the data it needs. A spreadsheet would have a table in it, but it would not be the complete spreadsheet as you would have lots of unused cells in the spreadsheet. So you would not normally implement a relational database in a spreadsheet.
