While reading what follows, please remember that I do not sell financial calculators, nor do I receive any kind of remuneration from calculator manufacturers (see below if you would like to help me out by purchasing a calculator from Amazon.com). Furthermore, I have purchased all of the financial calculators on this site with my own money (over many years). Therefore, my suggestions are based solely on more than 25 years of teaching experience and my personal preferences. Am I biased? Of course. My personal preference is for Hewlett Packard calculators that support RPN data entry (the HP 12C and the HP 17BII). However, RPN is not familiar to most people and I wouldn't expect you to learn it if you don't need to.
Most people first need to acquire a financial calculator because they are taking an introductory financial management course. If getting through this course is your only consideration, then I recommend that you purchase the least expensive model that you can easily find. Generally, this will mean the Hewlett Packard 10BII or the Texas Instruments BAII Plus. These usually cost about $30 to $35, though you may occasionally find them on sale for less. These are great financial calculators that will handle everything that you will probably need. However, they are missing a few of the more advanced financial functions that can be nice to have. Most people will probably never notice them missing.

If you are an undergraduate finance major, an MBA student, or a finance professional, then it may very well be a good decision to go for a higher-end model. Still, keep in mind that you are probably more likely to use a spreadsheet for most problems, so a fancy calculator may be more than you need.
One thing that business students should keep in mind: Many math departments require graphing calculators. Since you will likely need one for math classes, you should get one that will also work well in your finance/accounting classes. The TI 83, TI 83 Plus, or TI 84 Plus are the calculators of choice for you. Keep in mind that a professor in a given course may not allow graphing calculators, so be sure to ask about that if it isn't mentioned in the course syllabus.
Many certification programs (the good ones) have a policy that prohibits the use of any calculator that can store text. The purpose is to make sure that candidates don't use the calculator to bring notes into the testing environment. In finance, the major certifications and their calculator policies are the:
I can't find any definitive calculator restrictions for those that will be taking the CPA exam, other than that you need to know how to use a four-function (add, subtract, multiply, and divide) calculator. I am told that the only calculator allowed for the CPA exam is an online four-function calculator. Therefore, you cannot use your own on the exam. For time value calculations (PV, FV, etc), tables are used.
If you need to have graphics and/or scientific and advanced math functions (along with finance functions), then the TI 83 Plus or TI 84 Plus are probably the ones you want to look at. Hewlett Packard makes some spectacular scientific calculators, but their financial calculators don't do graphics or advanced science and math.
For finance, the graphing functions of calculators aren't all that useful most of the time. If you need graphics, you are probably better off creating spreadsheets instead. I'm sure that there are some finance professors who would disagree with me on that point.
Truthfully, for most people, either a HP 10BII or TI BAII Plus will be sufficient and will be the least costly. For students it may be advisable to purchase a TI 83 Plus or TI 84 Plus if their college math department requires a graphing calculator. If not, then stick to the less expensive alternatives or whatever your professor requires.
For banking, real estate, and insurance professionals it may be worth the extra money to purchase an HP 12C. That calculator, despite its age, is still pretty standard in those industries and that makes it easier to find help if you need it.
Personally, I use the HP 12C and HP 17BII on a daily basis. Both of them use RPN (though the 17BII and the 12C Platinum can be used as algebraic calculators), which I prefer. I find that it is often easier and faster to use a formula instead of the TVM keys, and RPN is much better than algebraic data entry for running through formulas. On the other hand, the TI 83 Plus and 84 Plus allow you to do matrix algebra and to enter equations on the screen, complete with parentheses. So, that somewhat mitigates my argument for RPN.
Also, keep in mind that you are likely to use spreadsheets (or custom computer programs) for more advanced financial applications. So if you are doing advanced finance you may not need a calculator at all. Ultimately, Excel is far more powerful than any hand-held financial calculator.

A tuition calculator is provided on the Student Business Services (SBS) website to assist students in estimating their tuition and fee costs based on enrolled semester credit hours. Tuition and fee explanations can also be found at sbs.tamu.edu.
The Texas A&M University Health Science Center charges an Instructional Enhancement Fee (IEF) at each of the colleges offering TAMUHSC academic programs. The colleges have varying fee rates based on the IEF needs of the college. This fee supports an array of educational activity enhancing academic programs at the college. A few examples of enhancement expenditures are; software to enhance education, media, web-based instruction, tracking and evaluation tools, licensure fees, and integration of technology.
The University is required to assess and collect a laboratory fee not less than $2 nor more than $30.00 for each laboratory course to cover in general the cost of laboratory materials and supplies used by a student.
The Summer Clinic Fee is used to partly cover the cost of students working in the clinic. This fee is a flat fee and is not charged by the hour. The students are scheduling and working on patients as part of their clinical training.
The fee covers costs associated with Clinical Learning Resources Center to include specialized simulation technology, equipment, materials and supplies related to the operating of the simulation center.
Professional liability insurance coverage is required of all students who will be in clinical settings providing patient care. It is a mandatory requirement of all local facilities with which we have contracts for student clinical experiences.
This fee covers costs associated with Clinical Learning Resources Center to include specialized simulation technology, equipment, materials, and supplies related to the operating of the simulation center.
The Professional Activity Fee supports various professional activities for pharmacy students such as participation in clinical partnerships enhancing experiential education, financial resources to ensure these clinical experiences meet pharmacy education expectations, support of student travel to professional meetings/conferences, and other professional activities.
One-third of the pharmacy curriculum is experiential education, which consists of the Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experiences (IPPE) and the Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPE). This fee supports clinical site payments for student rotations. In addition to clinical site payments, the Professional development Fee supports service learning activities and other professional development services and programs.
This fee supports distribution, maintenance and pickup of recycle bins and materials from each building located on the Texas A&M University-Kingsville campus. Only pharmacy students located at Kingsville are assessed this fee.

Beginning with the Academic Year 2018-2019, incoming undergraduate Texas resident students at Texas A&M University will be offered the choice between a variable rate tuition plan or a locked-rate (fixed) tuition plan allowing students and their parents to better plan and budget for college expenses. You will need to select the best option for you and your family prior to registration. Incoming Non-Resident Students will default to the Variable Rate Plan.
HSC: Health Science Center (HSC) programs are upper-division programs with separate budgeted rates of two-year time frames. Upon transfer/entrance to an HSC major, you will be reassigned to their current-year locked-rate cohort for two years, or your remaining time left if you are originally in a main-campus locked-rate cohort.
Once you have completed the length of time in your locked rate cohort you will automatically be moved to the current year Variable Rate Cohort Non-Resident Students: Because the State of Texas does not fund "non-resident" tuition, mandates issued by the state for the fixed-rate tuition plan do not apply to non-resident students. Therefore, non-resident students will default to the variable-rate plan.
