How to use these calculators

Every calculator updates as you type, so you can change one number at a time and see what it does to the result. That is the quickest way to learn which inputs matter: a loan’s interest rate, for example, usually matters more than people expect, and compounding frequency matters less.

Below each calculator you will find a worked example, the formula it uses and answers to common questions. The numbers you enter stay in your browser and are never sent to us.

Results are estimates. Real products have fees, taxes and conditions that a general calculator cannot know about, so use the figures to compare options and to prepare questions for your bank or adviser.
