About Our Tools

What tools do you offer?

+

We offer five main financial tools:

  • Loan Calculator: Calculate EMI, total interest, and payment schedule
  • EMI Breakdown: Detailed breakdown of principal and interest components
  • Savings Planner: Plan savings goals with compound interest
  • Budget Manager: Track income and expenses
  • Interest Comparator: Compare different investment options

How does the Loan Calculator work?

+

The Loan Calculator uses the standard EMI formula: EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n - 1), where P is the principal amount, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the total number of months. It calculates your monthly payment, total interest, and provides a payment breakdown.

What is the EMI Breakdown tool?

+

The EMI Breakdown tool shows you exactly how much of each payment goes toward principal and interest. Initially, more of your payment goes to interest, but over time, more goes to principal. This helps you understand the true cost of borrowing.

How does the Savings Planner work?

+

The Savings Planner uses compound interest calculations to show how your money grows over time. You can set an initial amount, monthly contributions, interest rate, and time period to see your projected savings and interest earned.

What is the Budget Manager?

+

The Budget Manager helps you track your income and expenses across different categories. It provides analysis of your spending patterns, compares ratios to recommended guidelines, and offers personalized recommendations for better financial management.

How does the Interest Comparator work?

+

The Interest Comparator allows you to compare up to 5 different investment options side by side. Enter the same principal amount and time period for each option, and see which one offers the best returns. It shows future value, interest earned, and total return percentage.
