How to get the most out of these tools

Every calculator above follows the same rules: it runs locally in your browser, it displays the formula it uses, and it links to the official source behind each assumption — the IRS for tax brackets and self-employment tax, the SEC’s investor education site for compounding, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for consumer guidance. No accounts, no data collection, no email required.

A suggestion on sequencing: start with the net worth calculator to see your current position, use the emergency fund calculator to set your near-term target, and let the compound growth calculator show what long-term investing does with what’s left over. The tax tools — brackets and 1099 vs W-2 — plug into decisions like raises, side income and contract offers as they come up. For the concepts behind each tool, the related guides linked on every calculator page go deeper.
