Methodology

How We Calculate

WalletCalcs uses common consumer finance formulas to create planning estimates. Loan and mortgage tools use standard amortization math. Income conversions use hourly, weekly, and annual work-hour relationships. Savings tools use time-based contribution and growth estimates. Debt tools estimate payoff pace based on recurring payments and periodic interest.

Where real-world rules vary by employer, lender, state, insurer, or tax situation, the tools are meant to support rough planning rather than official determinations.
