FinSimpler provides free, browser-based financial calculator tools, including but not limited to: mortgage calculators, auto loan calculators, personal loan calculators, savings calculators, retirement calculators, and 401(k) calculators (collectively, the "Services").

All calculations are performed locally in your web browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any financial data or calculation inputs you enter into our calculators to our servers. Your data stays on your device.

The Services are provided free of charge and are supported by third-party advertising, including advertisements served through Google AdSense.

FinSimpler is not a registered financial advisor, broker-dealer, investment company, tax professional, or legal advisor. We are not regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), or any other financial regulatory body.

The results provided by our calculators are estimates based on the inputs you provide and general financial formulas. They may not reflect actual financial outcomes due to factors including, but not limited to:

• Changes in interest rates, tax laws, or market conditions
• Individual fees, penalties, or charges imposed by financial institutions
• Your personal financial circumstances, creditworthiness, or tax situation
• Rounding, formula limitations, or simplifying assumptions in the calculations

Users are solely responsible for independently verifying all calculation results before making any financial decisions. You acknowledge that actual financial outcomes may differ materially from the estimates provided by our calculators.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, FinSimpler expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to:
