Ultimate Financial Calculator
What is the Ultimate Financial Calculator?
The Ultimate Financial Calculator (UFC) is the most sophisticated, most flexible calculator on AccurateCalculators.com and I think on the entire internet.
If you are someone who needs date accurate time value of money calculations for either regular or irregular cash flows (loans, payments, deposits, withdrawals, investments), this is the calculator you should study and use.
See the tutorials for step-by-step guides.

Recent changes and enhancements
- Jan. 10, 2024: Changed the default long and short-period interest options under "Settings." This means you will not get the same results you previously had unless you reselect your preferred setting.
- 2023: Save any schedule's data to Word/docx or Excel/xlsx files. Click on "Schedule" then "Continue" past the title page.
- The calculator automatically sorts the cash flow prior to file save and calculation. This fixes the issue where the "Unknown" did not calculate due to overlapping dates in different cash flow series unless the user had clicked the "Expand" button.

*What are 360, 364, 365 and 366 day years?
The days-per-year option impacts interest rate calculations. The calculation divides the nominal annual rate by 360 for equal length periods, 365 for actual length periods, and 366 if a leap year. Advanced calculators, such as the Ultimate Financial Calculator, give the user the ability to select the days-in-year. You will see the impact to interest when there are odd days (that is, irregular periods), or when compounding is set to daily or exact. Many other calculators on this site support this option.

Is there a way to test the Ultimate Financial Calculator to ensure functionality? We have a copy of C-Value! 2.0 from 2019 and want to be sure we don’t lost functionality.
Karl says:
You should be able to use the calculator on this page (the page you posted from).
Did you try it? Did you run into some particular problem?
The calculator, with respect to the calculations, is fully functional and unlimited. If you want to print, export or save your data to a file, more than three times, then you’ll need to subscribe.

Hello,
I subscribed to your calculators some time ago, with automatic renewal. It is now telling me I need to subscribe to print a schedule.
Karl says:
Hi, if you are using the one on this page, you are not in the subscriber section of the website. The only calculator you can use without limits, is the one you subscribed to, and you’ll see that one immediately after you log in.
Karl says:
I see you subscribed to the SolveIT! Bundle. In that case, you’ll first see a list of links after you log in. You must use those links to get to the subscriber calculators.
You can tell if you are in the subscriber section of the website. You won’t see any 3rd party advertisements. 🙂
