CalcStudio

Client-facing calculators and decision tools

CalcStudio is its own adviser product. It provides calculators you can use with clients, in two categories.

Standard calculators

These answer a specific question or perform a straightforward calculation during a client conversation.

  • Loan repayment

    Works out repayments for a given loan amount, rate and term.

  • Budget planner

    Builds a household income and expenses picture a client can work through.

  • Credit card

    Shows how long a card balance takes to clear at a chosen repayment.

Decision calculators

These go beyond a single answer. They demonstrate choices, comparisons and scenarios that can create a useful adviser and client conversation. They are indicative and are not regulated financial advice.

  • Offset mortgage

    Shows how offsetting savings against lending changes interest and term.

  • Rent vs buy

    Compares continuing to rent against buying over the same period.

  • Debt consolidation

    Compares keeping debts separate against consolidating them into one structure.

  • First home buyer funding calculatorComing soon

    Builds a funding picture from deposit, KiwiSaver and contribution sources.

  • Offset vs revolving creditComing soon

    Compares two flexible structures side by side for the same lending.

  • Compare ratesComing soon

    Compares fixed rate options and terms so a client can see the trade-offs.

These are visual previews of the genuine CalcStudio interface with fixed example inputs. Fields are locked and no result is calculated inside ClientConnection: the calculations are performed by CalcStudio. Interactive demonstrations are coming soon.

Calculators marked coming soon are in development. Where a calculator is live, the link goes to the genuine CalcStudio route. Results are indicative and depend on the information entered and the stated assumptions.
