FAQs
What is a financial calculator?
A financial calculator is a specialized electronic calculator that’s designed to quickly solve money-related math calculations like loan payments, investments and interest rates. Unlike a basic calculator, it features dedicated buttons for concepts like time value of money (TVM) and cash flow, that help people bypass complex math equations. Examples of financial calculators include the Texas Instruments TI-BAII Plus Financial Calculator and Sharp EL738XT 10-Digit Financial Calculator.
What’s the difference between a regular calculator and a financial calculator?
A regular calculator is designed to handle basic math problems, while a financial calculator has specialized built-in keys for concepts like time value of money (TVM), cash flow analysis and amortization. Regular calculators are best used for simple math like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and square roots. Financial calculators are best used for banking, real estate, corporate finance and professional exams.
Are financial calculators still used?
Yes, physical and digital financial calculators are used today by students, finance professionals and people taking professional exams and certifications. If you don’t want a physical financial calculator, there are plenty of digital calculators and tools available that can be accessed on your laptop, desktop computer, tablet or smartphone.
Can financial calculators be used for accounting or bookkeeping?
Financial calculators can be a useful tool to help support accounting and bookkeeping tasks like interest calculations, payment schedules, profit margins and financial reports. They are a great addition to any office or business to help fill out accounting records, business forms, real estate forms, legal forms, cheques and more.
