Acting as a bank customer, I have utilized these calculators several times in determining what difference the rates and terms make for mortgages, car loans and recreational vehicles. I find it helpful and I'm glad the calculators are there. The bank I do the majority of my banking with does not offer the calculators on line, so I visit the website of the bank I work for, which does provide them.
