Hi All,Today's blog entry is all about numbers. Specifically it is about financial numbers. More specifically it is an entry about how to find financial calculators to help you make better financial decisions.
For example, a common number on many credit card statements indicates how long it will take you to payoff your credit cards if you only make minimum payments. Click on this link to actually see how the calculation is made.
Another common calculation that folks need to make is to find how much interest you can save by increasing your monthly auto loan payment. Click on this link to dig into the particulars of how this calculation is made.
Astute readers will realize that the two links above come from a website called DinkyTown. Sure it might have a silly name, but the financial calculators on the site are current, easy-to-use and well organized.
With categories like Mortgages, Loans, Credit Cards, Auto, Investments, Retirement, Insurance, Taxes, Savings, Finance and Business, DinkyTown.net is a veritable one-stop shopping site for financial calculators. Of course users can click on any of the blue links above to go directly to that part of DinkyTown that you are interested in visiting.
Now, one of my personal favorite parts of the site is the Finance section. In this section users can find a basic calculator, a basic financial calculator (can calculate present value, future value, payments or periods), a checkbook balancer, credit assessment calculator, net worth calculator, 'Should my spouse work? calculator' and a student budget calculator. Interesting stuff, eh?
And just remember, these are just some of the available calculators in just the Finance section. Remember that there are the other categories available - which all have multiple calculators under their own respective headings. Very cool stuff!
So...with the tax season just getting underway, hopefully this site might just make completing your taxes just a bit easier!
Regards - hope the site saves you time and money!
