Why this matters
Money and health decisions get made on rough mental maths far too often. Running the actual numbers takes thirty seconds and routinely changes the answer — whether that's a loan you shouldn't sign, a rate you should be charging, or a target you can realistically hit.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mixing monthly and annual rates
A 12% annual rate is 1% monthly, not 12% monthly. This single slip inflates results by an order of magnitude.
Ignoring fees, taxes and insurance
The headline number is rarely the number you pay. Add the extras before you compare two offers.
Rounding too early
Round only the final figure. Rounding intermediate steps compounds error across long schedules.

Technical Limitations & Boundary Conditions
- Results reflect the inputs and assumptions shown. Fees, taxes, rates, and personal circumstances can change the real-world outcome; verify important figures with the relevant provider or authority.
- Extreme values outside standard ranges may be constrained by device memory or numerical precision boundaries.
Key Terms Explained
- Principal
- The original amount borrowed or invested, before any interest is applied.
- APR

- Compounding
- Earning interest on previously earned interest. Frequency (monthly vs annually) meaningfully changes the total.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the hourly cost worked out?›
We divide the annual salary by 2,080 paid hours (40 hours x 52 weeks), then multiply by attendees and duration.
Should I add benefits and overheads?›
Yes if you want true employer cost. A common rule is to add 25-30% on top of salary for benefits, taxes, equipment and office space.
Why does the yearly figure use 48 weeks?›
It allows for public holidays and annual leave, so the recurring cost is not overstated.
Is my salary data sent anywhere?›
No. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing is stored or transmitted.
