Mortgage Calculators
Websites that offer a monthly mortgage payment calculator can be a great resource in helping you to initially determine what interest rate and principal loan amount you can afford. However, they should not be used as a complete determinant of the actual amount you’ll have to pay each month toward your mortgage and related expenses. There are many other costs that go along with obtaining and keeping a mortgage that a mortgage calculator doesn’t consider. This article explains the costs that people often aren’t prepared for after estimating their monthly mortgage payment with a mortgage calculator.

Debt Consolidation Calculators
When the typical debt-consolidation company advertises that they can "save you money," what they are most often referring to is simply a reduction in your total monthly debt payments -- not a savings in the cost of paying off your debt (interest charges). Sure, by consolidating your payments into a single loan, you might be paying one monthly payment that is smaller than the sum of your current monthly payments, but if they stretch your loan out for a longer period of time you could actually end up paying more interest by consolidating. This calculator will help you to determine whether or not consolidating will actually reduce the cost of retiring your debts.
Loan Calculator w/ Amoritization Schedule

Use this calculator to compute how much you would need to have invested in order to withdraw a specified amount each year over the course of a specified period of time. For example, if you want to be able to withdraw $500 during each month of your expected 20-year retirement, this calculator will tell you that if you expect to earn a 10% interest rate you will need to have $51,812.30 saved up by the time you retire. This is often referred to as "Present Value of an Annuity" analysis.
Savings Goal Calculator
