Financial calculator

A financial calculator or business calculator is an electronic calculator that performs financial functions commonly needed in business and commerce communities.[1] It has standalone keys for many financial calculations and functions, making such calculations more direct than on standard calculators.[2] It may be user programmable, allowing the user to add functions that the manufacturer has not provided by default.[3]

Examples of financial calculators are the HP-10B and the TI BA II.[4]
