How financial calculations work
Most finance calculators use standard formulas: amortization for loans, compound interest for savings, and present/future value for investments. Results are estimates — actual terms may vary based on lender fees, credit score, taxes, and market conditions. Always consult a financial advisor for major decisions.
Understanding key financial terms
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes fees and interest. APY (Annual Percentage Yield) reflects compound interest. DTI (Debt-to-Income) ratio measures monthly debt payments against gross income. Lenders typically prefer DTI below 36%. CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) smooths investment returns over time.
