Thisfinance calculator can be used to calculate the future value (FV), periodic payment (PMT), interest rate (I/Y), number of compounding periods (N), and PV (Present Value). Each of the following tabs represents the parameters to be calculated. It works the same way as the 5-key time value of money calculators, such as BA II Plus or HP 12CP calculator.
Suppose someone owes you $500. Would you rather have this money repaid to you right away in one payment or spread out over a year in four installment payments? How would you feel if you had to wait to get the full payment instead of getting it all at once? Wouldn't you feel that the delay in the payment cost you something?
According to a concept that economists call the "time value of money," you will probably want all the money right away because it can immediately be deployed for many different uses: spent on the lavish dream vacation, invested to earn interest, or used to pay off all or part of a loan. The "time value of money" refers to the fact that a dollar in hand today is worth more than a dollar promised at some future time.
This is the basis of the concept of interest payments; a good example is when money is deposited in a savings account, small dividends are received for leaving the money with the bank; the financial institution pays a small price for having that money at hand. This is also why the bank will pay more for keeping the money in long and for committing it there for fixed periods.
Also, the PV in finance is what the FV will be worth given a discount rate, which carries the same meaning as interest rate except applied inversely with respect to time (backward rather than forward. In the example, the PV of an FV of $121 with a 10% discount rate after 2 compounding periods (N) is $100.
PMT or periodic payment is an inflow or outflow amount that occurs at each period of a financial stream. Take, for instance, a rental property that brings in rental income of $1,000 per month, a recurring cash flow. Investors may wonder what the cash flow of $1,000 per month for 10 years is worth. Otherwise, they have no conclusive evidence that suggests they should invest so much money into a rental property. As another example, what about the evaluation of a business that generates $100 in income every year? What about the payment of a down payment of $30,000 and a monthly mortgage of $1,000? For these questions, the payment formula is quite complex, so it is best left in the hands of our Finance Calculator, which can help evaluate all these situations with the inclusion of the PMT function. Don't forget to choose the correct input for whether payments are made at the beginning or end of compounding periods; the choice has large ramifications on the final amount of interest incurred.
For any business student, it is an immensely difficult task to navigate finance courses without a handy financial calculator. While most basic financial calculations can technically be done by hand, professors generally allow students to use financial calculators, even during exams. It's not the ability to perform calculations by hand that's important; it's the understanding of financial concepts and how to apply them using these handy calculating tools that were invented. Our web-based financial calculator can serve as a good tool to have during lectures or homework, and because it is web-based, it is never out of reach, as long as a smartphone is nearby. The inclusion of a graph and a schedule, two things missing from physical calculators, can be more visually helpful for learning purposes.
In essence, our Finance Calculator is the foundation for most of our Financial Calculators. It helps to think of it as an equivalent to the steam engine that was eventually used to power a wide variety of things such as the steamboat, railway locomotives, factories, and road vehicles. There can be no Mortgage Calculator, or Credit Card Calculator, or Auto Loan Calculator without the concept of the time value of money as explained by the Finance Calculator. As a matter of fact, our Investment Calculator is simply a rebranding of the Finance Calculator while everything underneath the hood is essentially the same.
The InSPIRE Agrivoltaics Calculator is a free techno-economic analysis tool that is designed to facilitate the first steps in decision-making regarding the use of low-impact solar development strategies. It should be used as a rough comparison tool to calculate solar energy generation, agricultural revenues, and financial characteristics for three options: agriculture only, solar only, and solar and agriculture combined. All data is based on industry averages and results may change drastically based on project specific information. Please reach out to NCAT or your solar developer for more information and to validate these results.

No, we admit students based on their strengths and talents, but all Harvard-administered aid is based only on financial need, and we treat all admitted students equally in terms of their eligibility for that aid.
Yes, financial aid is provided on exactly the same basis for international students as for American students. Although international students are not eligible for any federal funding, the College has its own job and scholarship money available to international students.
Remember, this is not an application for financial aid. The calculator is simply a tool to estimate how much your family will need to contribute for one year at Harvard. You will be asked to provide personal information about your family, and finances. We do not save this information; it is only used within the calculator.
This includes your total annual pre-tax earnings (including any voluntary retirement contributions such as Tax Deferred Accounts) from your wage statements. Do not include self-employment income or business income; include those amounts under business/farm income.
You should include total business or farm net income before adjusting for depreciation and/or losses. For US tax filers: business/farm income is normally found on Schedule(s) C and/or F. You should also examine each partnership or corporation (e.g. IRS forms 1120, 1120S or 1065) in which you have an interest. Harvard excludes depreciation expense and/or losses when calculating net business income.
You should include net income from rental real estate activity before adjusting for depreciation and/or losses. For US tax filers, rental real estate activity is normally reported on Schedule E. Harvard excludes depreciation expense and/or losses when calculating net rental real estate income.
You should include any other income not reported elsewhere. This often includes income from trusts, gifts, taxed and untaxed social security, child support received, alimony received, untaxed housing and food allowances, recurring (taxed and untaxed) pension withdrawals, disability payments, etc. (Note: We usually exclude capital losses from income, which is why a negative number may not be entered. Additionally, if your capital gain is not your regular source of income, but rather a one-time event, Harvard may elect to exclude it from income.)
Cash: You should include all cash amounts - typically in savings and checking accounts. Investments: You should include the present value of stocks and bonds (excluding those held in traditional retirement accounts) but may also need to include more complex investments.
This should represent the fair market value of your ownership share of any real estate (excluding your primary residence) not already reflected in the Business/Farm section, less your share of any debts.
The standard tuition cost is $2,020 per unit. Teacher Education, Executive Management, and Art Programs have varying unit costs; this calculator is intended to be used for programs that follow the standard tuition cost per unit.
The systemwide Financial Aid Calculator provides a simple way for you to estimate the amount of gift aid (grants and scholarships) you could receive, assuming you apply for all aid programs for which you are eligible. It also provides an estimate of your net costs (estimated total cost of attendance minus estimated gift aid eligibility). Net costs can be covered by other types of aid, like federal work-study, student loans and parent loans.
Nonresidents can use this calculator to view the estimated average cost of attendence for their chosen campus. Nonresidents who are eligible for federal financial aid can use the federal student aid estimator for an estimate of federal Pell grant eligibility.
While many students receive financial aid that covers the cost of tuition and fees, all financial aid applicants are expected to pay for a share of their cost of attendance through working and borrowing.
FAFSA Update: The 2024-2025 FAFSA is available to complete online. Due to Federal delays in releasing FAFSA information, Northeastern will require additional time to process your offer of financial assistance. Please visit our FAFSA Updates Page for more information and timely announcements.
You must still complete your CSS Profile, your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and submit other supporting documents to find out your actual financial aid offer. Learn more about the financial aid application process.
This calculator uses six basic financial questions to provide you with a need-based financial aid estimate and to help you to anticipate your college costs. We recommend that you use the MyinTuition Quick College Cost Estimator to best determine overall aid eligibility and estimate for the type of financial assistance you may be eligible to receive at Northeastern University.
