    There are probably a million calculators online now, covering anything from mortgages to compound interest to savings at various rates, etc., etc.

    Please post your calculator links so we can all benefit.

    A very brief description would be helpful too.

    :)

    Hehehha,,, oh yeah, *cough*

    It's way rad isn't it? Kids have the coolest toys.

    It appears it has been around for a while. I found it pre-CN when in search for help on explaining the differences in volume, metrics, area and such.

    "I don't trust none of 'em for sheeee-t !", as Slim Pickens would have said. You can calculate just about anything you need to with the following equation:
    Code:
                B x i/n
    P = ---------------------
                         -N
          [1 - (1 + i/n)^   ]
    
    Where:

    P = periodic payment amount
    B = original balance
    i = % nominal annual interest rate / 100
    n = number of payments per year
    N = number of payments in the loan
    ("^" denotes raising the quantity in ()'s to the -N power)

    Of course, if you don't have a calculator handy, yoor SOL with this method, poddner !

    Well, in the gray light of a cloudy Houston morning, I can see that what I provided obviously only addresses amortization. If anyone finds it useful, I can post more formulas. However, taking Butch's request at face value, if could be beside the point to give formulas you need a calculator and/or a spreadsheet program for.

    <BUMP> in any event !
