40+ financial calculators - no signup, no tracking

Launching a collection of free financial calculators - compound interest, debt payoff, retirement, FIRE, mortgages, taxes, and more. Everything runs in your browser, no email required, and above anything else no data collected. Curious: what financial calculations do you run most often or any tools you wish existed?

When do you actually decide to go beyond English?

I keep going back and forth on this, so I m curious how others think about it.

At what point do you start taking non-English markets seriously?

  • only after you feel solid PMF in English?

  • when inbound users from certain regions show up?

  • by picking one market early (Japan, LatAm, etc.) and committing?

  • or do you just keep pushing it off to stay focused?
