Field notes
The homepage lists calculators ranging from remodels and water heaters to 401(k) loans, timeshares, extended warranties, and running AI locally. Its kitchen example specifies a 150-square-foot project and a ten-year stay, while noting that the investment comparison assumes a 7% return; the page says results are arithmetic on entered figures, not financial advice.
