About

Hi, I'm Gianni.

I built the calculators I wished existed.

I'm a software engineer from Haaltert, Belgium, and I've been investing my own money since 2020. Investment Calculator is where those two meet: free tools with honest math and clear explanations, so you can see what your money could do before you decide.

Good financial math shouldn't be hard to find, or hard to understand.

The road to Investment Calculator

  1. 2020My first investments

    I started investing my own money and soon wanted to understand what my choices would mean over the long run.

  2. Looking for a tool I could trust

    The calculators I found were too simple, vague about their formulas or light on explanation. None combined accurate math with content that helped me understand the result.

  3. Building it myself

    As a software engineer, I did what felt natural: I built the tools I was missing and checked every formula against standard financial mathematics.

  4. 2025Launch

    Investment Calculator went live in English in September 2025, followed a month later by Dutch, French and German versions.

  5. Today

    More than 20 free calculators and guides, backed by regularly refreshed historical data on stocks, inflation, precious metals and crypto.

What drives Investment Calculator

  • Accurate

    Formulas follow standard financial mathematics, the same methods used in textbooks and professional tools.

  • Transparent

    Every data source, update schedule and method is documented in the Data Guide.

  • Free for everyone

    Every calculator works without an account. Signing in is only needed to save favorites.

  • Your language

    Every page exists in English, Dutch, French and German, written in each language rather than translated word for word.

What makes it different?

This site is for anyone who wants to understand their numbers, not only for finance professionals.

  1. Built by an investor

    I invest my own money too, so I build the tools I want to rely on myself.

  2. Real historical data

    Market-based pages use real index returns, inflation figures and prices, not only assumed averages.

  3. Explanations next to the numbers

    Every calculator explains its formula, and the guides work through examples step by step.

  4. Insight, not advice

    The content is factual and educational. It shows what the numbers mean and leaves the decision to you.

Want the details? The Data Guide lists every data source, update schedule and methodology used on the site.
