Loans, savings and investing
- Loan calculatorBefore you sign for a loan, two numbers matter: what you pay each month and what the loan costs you in interest.
- APR to APY calculatorTwo offers with the same rate can cost different amounts. The difference is how often interest is charged or paid.
- Mortgage calculatorA mortgage is the biggest debt most households ever take on. It pays to see the full numbers before you talk to a lender.
- Rent vs buy calculatorComparing the mortgage payment with the rent is not enough. Buyers pay interest, upkeep and property tax, but they end up owning the home. Renters can keep the down payment invested.
- Compound interest calculatorWith compound interest, the interest is added to your balance and starts earning interest of its own. That is why savings grow faster and faster.
- Simple interest calculatorSimple interest is always worked out on the original principal: interest is not added to the balance during the term.
- Savings goal calculatorA trip, a car, a deposit on a home or a cushion for surprises. A goal with an amount and a date is much easier to hit.
- Retirement savings calculatorA state pension often is not enough to keep your standard of living. Savings of your own, even small ones, make a big difference if you start early.
- Credit card payoff calculatorA credit card is usually the most expensive debt you have. Paying only the minimum stretches it out for years and piles on interest.
- 50/30/20 budget calculatorThe 50/30/20 rule is a simple way to plan your month. Half goes to essentials, 30% to things you enjoy and 20% to savings.
- Emergency fund calculatorAn emergency fund is money set aside for what you can't plan for: losing your job, a health problem or an urgent home repair.
- Car cost calculatorMost people know what they spend on fuel. Few add up insurance, maintenance, parking and, above all, the value the car loses every year.
Business and self-employment
- ROI calculatorA 50% gain sounds great, but it is not the same over 2 years as over 10. To compare investments you need the return per year.
- Profit margin calculatorMargin and markup get mixed up all the time, and the difference can cost you money. Both measure the same profit, but against a different base.
- Break-even calculatorThe break-even point is the level of sales where a business neither makes nor loses money. Below it you lose, above it you start to profit.
- Freelance rate calculatorThe most common freelance mistake is taking the salary you would want as an employee and dividing it by 160 hours. That leaves out taxes, expenses, vacation and every hour you can't bill.
Family and home

- GRSIA pension calculator for QatarisQatari employees insured with GRSIA earn a monthly pension based on their salary and years of contributions.
