Interest Software
Rated: 
Mastering the concepts, terms, and formulas regarding interest is one thing, but applying them in your real life is another. Whether it's about tax, loans, or credit cards, interest software - programs installed on your computer that do the dirty work for you - might just be the ticket to easy interest calculations and the solution to your interest problems.
A popular interest software is Interest Vision 3.0 from Broderbund. A testament to its popularity is the considerable amount of people still using the earlier Interest Vision 2.0 software. The program can help you get instant answers to everyday financial questions, such as those in the fields of consumer credit (e.g. low interest rate versus annual fee), mortgages (e.g. fixed versus variable mortgage rates), and retirement.
