Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about picking and using financial calculators.

What is the best free financial calculator?
It depends on the decision. For home buying, use the mortgage calculator to see monthly principal-and-interest plus total interest across the loan term. For saving, use the compound interest calculator to project growth from a starting balance plus recurring contributions. For retirement planning, the retirement calculator solves for the monthly savings required to hit a target nest egg.
Are these financial calculators accurate?
The math is exact for the formula shown next to each tool — standard amortization for loans, compound-growth formulas for investing, and the current U.S. federal brackets for income tax. Results are estimates, not tax or investment advice: real-world outcomes depend on fees, taxes, market returns, and personal circumstances the tools do not know about.
Do you store the numbers I enter?
No. All calculators run entirely in your browser. Inputs never leave your device, so it is safe to plug in salary, savings, or loan balances. Sharing a result URL is opt-in — the numbers are encoded in the link only when you copy it.
Which calculator should I use for retirement planning?
Start with the retirement calculator to size your target and monthly savings, then use the compound interest calculator to stress-test different return assumptions, and the inflation calculator to convert your target into today's dollars so the number feels concrete.
How do I compare loan offers fairly?
Compare APR, not just the interest rate — APR bakes in most fees. Use the loan or auto-loan calculator to hold the loan amount and term constant while varying APR, then look at total interest paid over the life of the loan, not just the monthly payment.
Do the tax calculators include state tax?
No. The income tax calculator estimates U.S. federal income tax using current brackets and the standard deduction. State income tax, FICA (Social Security and Medicare), and local taxes are excluded and must be added separately.
