financial calculator
Fiscal computation device
A financial calculator is a specialized calculator designed for business and investment computations—calculating loan payments, interest rates, present and future values, amortization schedules.
Unlike standard calculators, financial calculators have dedicated keys for variables like principal, interest, and time periods: I used a financial calculator to figure out my mortgage payments.
The term also applies to software and web tools that perform the same functions.
