Free financial calculators for every step to financial freedom

Financial Calculators and Budgeting brings seven personal finance tools together in one place. They work for Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, India and elsewhere, and understand accounts like the RRSP, TFSA, 401(k), Roth IRA and ISA. Everything you enter stays in your own browser.

Compound interest calculator

See how a starting balance and regular contributions grow over time, with any compounding frequency, yearly contribution increases, inflation, and the after-tax value across tax-free, tax-deferred and taxable accounts.

Coast FI calculator

Find your Coast FIRE number: the amount that, left invested with no more contributions, grows into your full retirement number. See the age you can stop saving and coast.

FIRE calculator

Work out your FIRE number and the age you reach financial independence, with Lean, Fat and Barista FIRE levels, your savings rate, and taxes on RRSP, 401(k), TFSA and Roth withdrawals.

Mortgage payoff calculator

Compare monthly, bi-weekly and accelerated bi-weekly payments, see how much goes to interest versus principal, and test extra payments, lump sums and renewal rates to pay off your mortgage faster.

Rental property calculator

Analyze cash flow, cap rate, cash-on-cash return, DSCR and total return for one or more rental properties, plus deductible expenses, rent versus cost growth, and a cash damming calculator.

Budget calculator

Track income, pre-tax deductions, expenses and savings, compare your spending with the 50/30/20 rule, plan multiple savings goals with a rate of return, and download your budget as Excel or PDF.

Small business profit calculator

For self-employed people and small businesses: profit and margins, break-even revenue, how much tax to set aside, cash runway, and what a price increase does to profit.

Frequently asked questions

What is Coast FI (Coast FIRE)?

Coast FI is the point where your investments are large enough to grow into your full retirement number on their own, without further contributions. After that you only need to earn enough to cover today's spending.

How do I calculate my FIRE number?

Divide the yearly spending your portfolio must cover by your safe withdrawal rate. At a 4% withdrawal rate that is 25 times your annual spending. Pensions and other retirement income reduce the amount you need.

Is an accelerated bi-weekly mortgage payment worth it?

Usually, yes. Accelerated bi-weekly payments add the equivalent of one extra monthly payment each year, all of it going to principal, which can cut years off a 25-year mortgage. Plain bi-weekly payments save very little on their own.

What is cash damming?

Cash damming is a Canadian strategy where rental income pays down your home mortgage while rental expenses are paid from a HELOC. It gradually converts non-deductible mortgage debt into tax-deductible investment debt. Confirm the setup with a tax professional.

Should RRSP or 401(k) payroll contributions count as savings?

Yes. They come off your pay before tax, so your take-home pay is already lower. Enter them as pre-tax deductions: they count toward your savings rate without being subtracted from take-home pay a second time.

Is my financial data private?

Yes. This site runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server, and your entries are saved only on your own device.
