Online Financial Tools
By Matt - Wednesday, May 7th, 2008
The thought of calculating the amortization on a mortgage is enough to give me a headache and prevent me from even attempting it. I know that there are sites and tools out there that can help by doing a lot of these financial calculations and I have used them in the past. Yesterday I ran across a post over at Money Ning about a great online Mortgage and Loan Calculator; the online calculator itself is very well thought out and is a handy visually appealing tool.
When I first looked online for financial tools many years ago they were hard to use and clunky but things have come a long way since then. The tools still come in complex and difficult to use versions but there are more and more well built easy to use tools. The best part is that most of the tools are free (like Mint.com). We no longer have the excuse that we don’t know what our financial situation is or whether we can afford a loan or a mortgage
Have any of you had success with any online tools? Definitely pass them along; I’m thinking of creating a section of this site to list all of these types of tools.

Thanks for the tip on Mint.com
That is going to be a very good resource.
I’ll be sure to share it with my friends and readers.

Try wesabe.com which is similar to mint. Best part about is that it works with Canadian banks.
Also, congrats on selling your place. We just sold ours in Calgary.

My wife and I have been using mint for 6 months, and it has helped us in many ways (all the credit cards are now visible, no more hiding expenses) and give a much easier breakdown of expenses. It has really helped us buckle down on where out money goes, much better then quicken ever did, and it’s all automatic.
