Financial Calculator is a very simple finance application that enables you to find out simple or compound interests. It doesn't contain complicated options or customization preferences, making it accessible to all types of users.
No setup necessary, besides .NET Framework
The program's packed in just one executable file that you can save to a custom location on the disk or copy to a USB flash drive to run the app on any PC seamlessly.Just remember that you must have .NET Framework installed, as it was built on this platform. On the other hand, it doesn't create other files on the HDD or modify the Windows registry configuration, unlike many installers.
Simple GUI for calculating simple or compound interests
Regarding the interface, Financial Calculator adopts a standard .NET Framework, so it doesn't emphasize the graphical elements. However, it has intuitive and neatly structured options that can be tackled with ease.All you have to do is enter the principal amount, interest rate and number of years, as well as select the calculation type between simple and compound interest.Results are immediately displayed in the main frame and they are presented in a pie chart. Note that the program supports only dollars as the currency. There are no other notable settings available.
Evaluation and conclusion
Unsurprisingly, it didn't put a strain on the workstation's performance throughout our testing, since Financial Calculator used a low amount of CPU and memory to function normally. It didn't freeze, crash or indicate errors, so everything worked smoothly.On the other hand, it doesn't make room for configuration, which is likely an unattractive feature for experienced users. Nevertheless, it can be easily used by those looking for a speedy and effective solution for calculating simple or compound interests, and it's free.
