Run your own numbers

Free calculators that work entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, and every one of them shows its working.

Tax and withholding

The ones a spreadsheet makes miserable: thresholds that interact, cliffs that cost four figures for a single dollar, and withholding rates that were never meant to match your bracket.

Housing

Two decisions with more moving parts than anybody can hold in their head, and where the popular answer — buy, and pay it down early — is right often enough to be dangerous.

Retirement timing and limits

How much you are allowed to put in, and when to start taking it out. Both are arithmetic; both are widely got wrong by a margin measured in years or tens of thousands of dollars.

Saving, investing, and debt

Long-run arithmetic. What a balance becomes, what the income side is worth, and the cheapest order to clear what you owe.
