About the project

What this site is for, and what it is not.

Just Interest Calculator is an independent educational web project focused on helping people estimate savings growth, target-based saving, and loan costs before they make a real-world decision.

Who runs this site

The site is maintained as an independent finance-tool project through its public repository. It is not a bank, broker, lender, or regulated advisory service.

What the calculators are designed to do

  • Estimate how a starting balance and recurring contributions may grow under a chosen average rate.
  • Show how taxes and inflation can reduce the practical value of a nominal result.
  • Work backward from a savings target to a monthly contribution or timeline.
  • Estimate fixed-rate loan payments and the interest cost of carrying debt over time.

How the site works

The main calculators use standard future-value and amortization formulas. Results are generated client-side in the browser so the tool stays fast, lightweight, and usable without an account.

Client-side Calculations run in your browser.
Educational Built for comparison and understanding.
Scenario-based Preset examples help users start with realistic inputs.

What this site does not do

  • It does not provide personalized financial, legal, tax, or investment advice.
  • It does not guarantee returns, lending terms, or future account balances.
  • It does not replace lender disclosures, adviser recommendations, or tax planning.
