About home-calc

home-calc is a collection of free financial calculators for people working through money decisions for the first time — first paycheck, first lease, first car loan, first mortgage application. Most financial tools assume you already know the vocabulary.

Each calculator shows its math below the result. The companion blog covers budgeting, auto loans, homebuying, taxes, savings, and credit in more depth.

How the calculators work

The tools use standard financial formulas — loan amortization, compound interest, federal tax brackets and standard deductions, and common lender guidelines like the 28/36 rule. Each page lists its assumptions and limits below the tool. What you type stays in your browser; we do not ask for logins or account numbers.

A note on accuracy

These calculators produce estimates for education and planning. They are not financial, tax, or legal advice, and real-world offers will differ based on your credit profile, lender, and location. For decisions with real money on the line, confirm the numbers with a qualified professional or the institution you're working with.
