Why use this tool

Quick calculations come up constantly: splitting a bill, figuring out how many days until a deadline, converting an hourly rate to an annual salary. Having a purpose-built calculator is faster and less error-prone than a spreadsheet.

How it works

Each calculator applies the relevant mathematical formula to your inputs. Financial calculators use standard amortization and compound-interest equations. Date calculators leverage JavaScript's Date object with timezone-aware arithmetic.

Pro tip

For loan and mortgage calculations, small changes in interest rate matter more than you think. Try adjusting the rate by 0.25% to see how it affects total interest paid over the life of the loan.
