A financial calculator or business calculator is an electronic calculator that performs financial functions commonly needed in business and commerce communities[1] (simple interest, compound interest, cash flow, amortization, conversion, cost/sell/margin, etc). It has standalone keys for many financial calculations and functions, making such calculations more direct than on standard calculators.[2] It may be user programmable, allowing the user to add functions that the manufacturer has not provided by default.[3]

Wide number of graphics calculators like Casio fx-9860GII, Texas Instruments TI-89 Titanium, Hewlett Packard HP-48GII, etc includes complex financial calculations.
