      <description>&lt;p&gt;Two weeks ago I shared a collection of 6 financial calculators. The response was incredible, so I kept building.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today, &lt;strong&gt;fi-calc.com has 25 completely free calculators&lt;/strong&gt; covering every major personal finance need:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;✨ Tech Stack&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
• Pure vanilla HTML/CSS/JS — no frameworks&lt;br&gt;
• Chart.js for animated interactive charts&lt;br&gt;
• Responsive design (mobile-friendly)&lt;br&gt;
• All calculations run client-side in your browser&lt;br&gt;
• No data collection, no accounts, no cookies&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;🔗 Give it a try:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://fi-calc.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;fi-calc.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The entire site is free and open. I built it because I was tired of calculator sites with paywalls, signup walls, and bloated ad experiences.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Would love feedback from the community! What other calculators should I build next?&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I Built a Free Suite of 14 Financial Calculators</title>

      <guid>https://dev.to/fan_ye_6ae49c11680f660770/i-built-a-free-suite-of-14-financial-calculators-4gfa</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I recently launched &lt;a href="https://fi-calc.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Fi-Calc&lt;/a&gt; — a free suite of 14 financial calculators that runs entirely in the browser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No signups. No ads. No data collection.&lt;/strong&gt; Just tools that help you make better money decisions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  The Calculators
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Mortgage Calculator&lt;/strong&gt; — Monthly payments, total interest, amortization&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Compound Interest&lt;/strong&gt; — See the power of compounding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Investment Returns&lt;/strong&gt; — CAGR, total return, inflation-adjusted&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Retirement Calculator&lt;/strong&gt; — How much you need to save&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;401(k) Calculator&lt;/strong&gt; — Employer match and tax benefits&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Loan Amortization&lt;/strong&gt; — Full schedule with extra payments&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Debt Payoff&lt;/strong&gt; — Snowball vs. avalanche comparison&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Rent vs. Buy&lt;/strong&gt; — Compare renting vs. buying&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Savings Goal&lt;/strong&gt; — How long to reach your target&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Emergency Fund&lt;/strong&gt; — How much you really need&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;APR Calculator&lt;/strong&gt; — True cost of borrowing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Dollar Cost Averaging&lt;/strong&gt; — Model regular investment strategies&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Social Security Calculator&lt;/strong&gt; — Estimate your benefits&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;CD Ladder Calculator&lt;/strong&gt; — Maximize CD returns&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Tech Stack
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pure HTML/CSS/JS, no frameworks. 100% client-side computation — your data never leaves your browser.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All calculators are free at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://fi-calc.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;fi-calc.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Would love your feedback and suggestions for new calculators!&lt;/p&gt;
