Financial App
You can use the Financial app to perform a variety of financial calculations.
Important!
Calculation results and graphs produced in this app should be regarded as reference values only.
Whenever performing an actual financial transaction, be sure to check any calculation results obtained using this calculator against the figures calculated by your financial institution.
Whether you should use a positive or a negative value for the present value (PV) or the purchase price (PRC) depends on the type of calculation you are trying to perform.
Operation Flow
Example: To calculate the total principal and interest after two years (730 days*) when $3,000 is invested at a simple interest rate of 5.0%, and then to display a graph and check the calculation results against the graph
-
h > Financial
-
Highlight [Simple Interest] and then press O.
-
Since we want to determine the sum of principal and interest, select the [Type] menu’s [Future Value (SI)] item.
-
Highlight [Type] and then press O.
-
On the menu that appears, select [Future Value (SI)] and then press O.
-
Input the following information: n (days) = 730; I% (annual interest rate) = 5; PV (present value) = -3000.
-
Specify the color that you want to use for the graph in step 7 of this procedure.
-
Select T > [Graph Color].
-
Select the color you want and then press O.
-
To execute the calculation, press > (or highlight
and press O).
-
To display the graph, press >.
-
To check the calculation results on the graph, select T > [Trace].
-
To return from the Graph tab to the Result tab, press b or <.
This displays the Financial tab.

This displays the Simple Interest Setup tab.

d730E5Es-(M)3000E

This displays the calculation result for future value (FV = principal + interest) on the Result tab.
An error occurs if parameters are not configured correctly.

This enables trace and causes a crosshair pointer () to appear on the graph.
Each press of r while trace is enabled cycles the displayed value in the sequence: present value (PV) → simple interest (SI) → future value (FV). Pressing l cycles in the reverse direction.
To exit trace, press b.

Example 2 (Depreciation):
To use the sum-of-years’-digits method to calculate the first-year depreciation for a personal computer with a useful life (n) of 5 years and original cost (PV) of $12,000. Assume 12 months as the number of months of depreciation in the first year (Y-1). Also, display a list of the depreciation for each year.
-
On the Financial tab, highlight [Depreciation] and then press O.

The Table tab shows the depreciation (SYD) for each year (j) and the remaining depreciated value (RDV) at the end of each year.
While viewing the Table tab, you can display the graph by pressing >.

Example 3 (Bond Calculation):
You want to purchase a semiannual bond*1 that matures on December 15, 2028 (d2) and has a settlement date of June 1, 2024 (d1). The bond is calculated based on 365 days per year.*2 The bond is redeemed at 100% of its face value (RDV) and the coupon rate (CPN) is 3%. If the yield to maturity (YLD) is 4%, determine the price of the bond (PRC), the accrued interest (INT), and the purchase price including accrued interest (CST).
S > [Interest Paid]: Semi-annually
-
On the Financial tab, highlight [Bond Calculation] and then press O.
-
Since we want to determine the bond price, select [Bond’s Price] from the [Type] menu.
-
Input the following information: d1 = 6/1/2024 (month/day/year); d2 = 12/15/2028 (month/day/year); RDV = 100; CPN = 3; YLD = 4.
-
To execute the calculation, press >.
This displays the Bond Calculation Setup tab.
dE6E1E2024EE

100E3E4E

This displays the calculation result on the Result tab.

Note: Bond Calculation Memorandum Screen
Selecting T > [Display Memorandum] on the Result tab of Bond Calculation displays the number-of-day values used in the calculation as shown below.
PRD:
number of days from d1 to d2
N:
number of coupon payments between settlement date and maturity date
A:
accrued days
B:
number of days from settlement date until next coupon payment date (D − A)
D:
number of days in coupon period where settlement occurs

Selecting T > [Show Coupon Payment Day] while the Memorandum screen is displayed changes to a screen showing the interest payment date (only when S > [Number of Days/Year] is “365”). If there are multiple interest payment dates from the redemption year to the year of purchase, each press of O while this screen is displayed each interest payment date scrolls back sequentially until the first payment is reached.

Important!
When inputting both the present value (PV) and future value (FV) for a calculation, either PV or FV must be positive, while the other (PV or FV) is negative.
Annual interest rate (I%) calculations are performed using Newton’s Method, which produces approximate values whose precision can be affected by various calculation conditions. Interest calculation results produced by this application should be used keeping the above in mind, or results should be confirmed separately.
Cash Flow
This calculator uses the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to perform investment appraisal by totalling cash flow for a fixed period. This calculator can perform the following four types of investment appraisal.
: Net present value
: Internal rate of return
: Net future value
: Payback period
A cash flow diagram like the one shown below helps to visualize the movement of funds.

With this graph, the initial investment amount is represented by . The cash flow one year later is shown by , two years later by , and so on.
is calculated using the formula below:
In this formula, = 0, and the value of is equivalent to × 100. It should be noted, however, that minute fractional values tend to accumulate during the subsequent calculations performed automatically by the calculator, so never actually reaches exactly zero. becomes more accurate the closer that approaches to zero.

Converting between the nominal interest rate and effective interest rate
The nominal interest rate (I% value input by user) is converted to an effective interest rate (I%’) for installment loans where the number of installments per year is different from the number of compound interest calculation periods.
The following calculation is performed after conversion from the nominal interest rate to the effective interest rate, and the result is used for all subsequent calculations.

Important!
The Financial app performs annual yield (YLD) calculations using Newton’s Method, which produces approximate values whose precision can be affected by various calculation conditions. Because of this, annual yield calculation results produced by this app should be used keeping the above in mind, or results should be confirmed separately.
