All calculators
Every one of our 240 free calculators, grouped by category. Each shows its full working — assumptions, formulas, and breakdowns in the open.
Saving & Investing
View all →Compound Interest
→Project the growth of savings and investments with inflation-adjusted (real) returns, fees, taxes, contribution step-ups, and a full year-by-year breakdown.
Savings Goal
→Find how much to set aside each month to hit a target by a deadline — or how long your current pace will take.
Investment Return
→CAGR, total return, and the true money-weighted return (IRR) when you add contributions — plus the inflation-adjusted real return.
Dividends
→Project dividend income with reinvestment (DRIP), rising payouts, and yield-on-cost — and see how much DRIP adds over taking cash.
Rebalancing
→The exact trades to hit your target allocation — plus a no-sell, contributions-only mode that rebalances without triggering taxable sales.
Fee Impact
→Compare two expense ratios side by side and see the dollars — and the share of your gains — that fees quietly consume over time.
CD
→Maturity value and interest from a certificate of deposit — plus what an early-withdrawal penalty would actually cost you.
Savings
→Grow a savings balance at a real APY — and see what tax on interest and inflation leave you with in today’s money.
RSU
→RSU value at vest, sell-to-cover shares, and the 22% withholding gap that leaves higher earners owing more at tax time.
T-Bill
→The true investment yield on a T-bill (not just the quoted discount yield), the APY, and its state-tax-free advantage.
ESPP
→Your ESPP discount and lookback turned into a real return — the immediate gain and the eye-opening annualized rate.
APY
→Turn a nominal rate into its true APY, compare APY across compounding frequencies, and see the real dollars earned.
Interest
→Simple and compound interest side by side — the total interest each way, the final balance, and exactly how many dollars compounding adds on top.
Future Value
→What a lump sum and regular contributions grow to at any rate and compounding frequency — with the split between what you put in and the interest you earn.
Present Value
→What a future lump sum or stream of payments is worth in today’s money once discounted — and how much value is lost to time at a given rate.
CAGR
→The compound annual growth rate that links a starting and ending value over time — the single rate that makes investments of different lengths comparable.
Continuous Compound
→Future value with continuous compounding (P·e^(rt)), the effective annual rate it produces, and how much it beats compounding just once a year.
PVIFA

Sinking Fund
→Sinking fund payment — the recurring deposit needed to hit a target amount by a future date, with the interest the compounding does for you
Growing Annuity
→Growing annuity present value — payments rising at a constant rate each period — for inflation-linked income, escalating leases, or growing dividends
Percentage Return
→Your total return on an investment — capital gain plus income as a percentage of what you paid — split into the price return and the income return.
Fisher Equation
→Fisher equation — convert nominal and real rates exactly, (1 + nominal) = (1 + real)(1 + inflation), not the nominal-minus-inflation shortcut
ROI

Savings Rate
→The share of your income you actually save — the single number that, more than any return, decides how fast you reach financial independence.

→The Keynesian spending multiplier from MPC — spending, tax, and balanced-budget multipliers plus the round-by-round geometric series showing where the total GDP change comes from.
Money Multiplier
→The money multiplier and the maximum money a deposit can support under fractional-reserve banking, with a round-by-round lending table and a fuller model adding currency drain and excess reserves.
Deadweight Loss
→Deadweight loss from a per-unit tax or observed price gap — the Harberger triangle, tax revenue, trades lost, and an optional elasticity-based split of who bears the burden.
HHI
→Market concentration by the Herfindahl–Hirschman index — squared shares, the DOJ/FTC 2023 merger-guideline bands, the numbers equivalent, and the ΔHHI of a hypothetical merger.
Quantity Theory
→The equation of exchange MV = PY solved for any variable, plus the growth-rate form that turns money growth into implied inflation — with the velocity caveats stated honestly.
Gini Coefficient
→Income inequality from a pasted list of incomes — the Gini coefficient by the sorted closed form, the Lorenz curve behind it, and the income shares of the top 10% and bottom 50%.
GDP Growth
→GDP growth as a simple, BEA-style annualized-quarterly, or average annual rate — the three headline conventions from the same two observations, with per-capita growth and rule-of-70 doubling time.
Marginal Cost
→Marginal cost from a single cost change or a full cost schedule — per-unit MC, average total cost, marginal revenue, and the profit-maximizing output under the MR = MC rule.
Taylor Rule
→The benchmark policy interest rate the Taylor rule prescribes from inflation and the output gap — with a term-by-term decomposition and a comparison against the actual rate.
Cross Elasticity
→Cross-price elasticity — are two goods substitutes or complements — and income elasticity with the normal, inferior, and luxury classification, by the midpoint or point method.
Okun's Law
→Translates an unemployment gap into an output gap (or GDP growth into a predicted unemployment change) using Okun's rule of thumb — with an adjustable coefficient, because it is an empirical regularity, not a constant.
Everyday
View all →Inflation
→Purchasing power in both directions, the cumulative erosion of a fixed sum, and the income you’d need to keep pace.
Budget
→Map your real expenses into the 50/30/20 needs/wants/savings buckets, see which one you overspend, and find your savings rate.
Emergency Fund
→How many months you’re covered today, a recommended 3–6 month target band, and how long it takes to get there at your pace.
Subscriptions
→Turn a mix of weekly, monthly, and yearly subscriptions into one true annual cost — and see what investing it instead would be worth.
Tip
→Tip on the pre-tax subtotal (not the tax), split the bill any number of ways, round up, and compare common tip percentages.
Net Worth
→Categorized assets and liabilities, your liquid vs illiquid split and debt-to-asset ratio, and a multi-year net-worth projection.
Cost of Living
→Compare two cities and find the salary you’d need to keep your standard of living — with a category-by-category breakdown.
Credit Utilization
→Per-card and overall utilization against the 30%/10% guidance — plus the exact paydown to reach a target ratio.
Life Insurance
→How much coverage you need via the DIME method (debt, income, mortgage, education) — not a crude multiple of your income.
Wedding Budget
→Split a wedding budget across categories using typical industry percentages, with the per-guest cost that drives the total.
Discount
→Sale price and amount saved — including stacked discounts (which multiply, not add) and the real out-the-door price with tax.
Percent Off
→Work out the sale price and dollars saved for any percent off — plus stacked "extra % off" coupons (which multiply, not add) and the final price with tax.
Percentage Discount
→Turn a percentage discount into the price you actually pay and the amount you save — with support for a second stacked discount and sales tax.
Overtime
→Gross pay with time-and-a-half and double-time tiers, the overtime premium, and a weekly-to-annual breakdown.
50/30/20 Budget
→Split your take-home pay into needs, wants, and savings on the 50/30/20 rule — a simple, flexible budget framework with the dollar targets worked out for you.
Fuel Cost
→Fuel cost of a trip from distance, fuel economy, and price per gallon — plus cost per mile, to compare routes, vehicles, and the price of a commute
Electricity Cost
→What an appliance costs to run — daily, monthly, and yearly — from its wattage, hours of use, and your price per kWh. Find the quiet energy hogs in your home.
Percentage
→Three percentage questions in one: what is X% of Y, X is what percent of Y, and the percentage change from one number to another — each with the working shown.
