Super Loan Calculators

This blog is pretty narrowly focused on one subject – loan calculators. It’s true that there are already a million websites with articles about mortgages, refinancing, etc, and also plenty of websites with loan calculators.

However, many of the online loan calculators require either a paid subscription or at least a registration that requires you to give up your email address – which will undoubtedly be followed by a ton of spam.

Another problem is that with all the articles about loans, there’s almost nothing out there that explains how to use the actual loan calculators.

One of the things I want to do with this blog is take a look at some of the best websites out there that offer free loan calculators, and to rate them based on several criteria. I was thinking that a good rating system would encompass the following:

1. Good variety of loan calculators: 4 points.
2. No registration required to use the calculators: 2 points.
3. No special software or plugins required: 2 points.
4. Explanation of what to use the loan calculators for: 1 point.
5. Explanation of how to use the calculators: 1 point.

Total Points Possible: 10 Points

So the best possible site would get 10 points. What do you think of this rating system?
