*What are 360, 364, 365, and 366-day years?
The days-per-year setting affects interest calculations. The calculator divides the nominal annual rate by 360, 364, 365, or 366, depending on the selection. Use 365 for actual-length periods and 366 for leap years.
Advanced calculators, including the Ultimate Financial Calculator, allow you to control the days-in-year value. This setting affects interest totals when there are odd-length periods or when interest is compounded daily or exactly. Most calculators on this site support this feature.
The Ultimate Financial Calculator is designed for professionals who need precision, flexibility, and transparency in every calculation. Whether you are modeling a loan with irregular cash flows, analyzing a refinance scenario, or documenting the details of an owner-financed agreement, the UFC provides structure and control to meet specific requirements.
This calculator supports clear and verifiable results. Accurate, auditable schedules and analyses help ensure that your work withstands review. If your work requires clarity and accountability, this calculator fits that need.

Catherine Scott says:
Hi Karl, Is this UFC only available for use online? In the past the calculators were available for purchase to download, I’ve been using them for a few years. This new calculator seems to be exactly what I need but I do not wish no work online. It seems like I remember seeing it available for download a while back. Thanks!
Karl says:
You are correct. Once they were downloads for Windows only. Now that they are available online, anyone with a browser can use them. And when they do, they know. they have access to the latest version.
GUADALUPE RODRIGUEZ says:
I HAVE SUBSCRIBED FOR THE UFC AND SOLVE IT PACKAGE. It seems that when I LOG IN, it takes me to the advertisement page. IS THIS CORRECT?
Karl says:
I don’t know what you mean by "the advertisement page." We do not have any page that is just an advertisement, whether you are logged in or not.
You should be taken to a page that lists the calculators in your subscription. Click on the link for the calculator that you want to use.
If this does not answer your question, please provide the link to the page you have a question about.
GUADALUPE RODRIGUEZ says:
I set the loan amount, and in the loan options I add a down payment, but as I calculate the payment amount, it does not adjust the amount of the loan to show the down payment?
Karl says:
Are you using the Ultimate Financial Calculator or the Mortgage Calculator? You posted on the UFC page.
The Ultimate Financial Calculator does not have an option for "down payment." It works with loan amounts only, which means you enter the loan amount after the down payment.

THE COLLOME SEARES OPTIONS: WHAT CAN I USE IT FOR?
Karl says:
You can click on the link in that column and it will open different windows with various options. Which window opens, depends on if the series is a loan or a payment series. For example, you can set a series to be interest-only payments. Or you can set up a loan that has a payment series that skips months. Take a look, there are many options.
Some of the many tutorials will show you screenshots of the options.
