The financial-calculator skill provides tools for computing loan payments, investment growth, NPV/IRR, retirement projections, and Monte Carlo risk analysis, outputting tables, charts, and exportable reports. It solves the need for accurate, automated financial calculations without manual spreadsheet work. Agents or developers should use it when they need to generate quantitative financial analyses programmatically.
Financial Calculator Suite

Loan Payment (PMT)
PMT = P * [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1]
where: P = principal, r = monthly rate, n = total paymentsFuture Value (FV)
FV = PV * (1 + r)^n + PMT * [((1 + r)^n - 1) / r]
where: PV = present value, r = rate, n = periods, PMT = periodic paymentNet Present Value (NPV)
NPV = Σ [CF_t / (1 + r)^t] for t = 0 to n
where: CF = cash flow, r = discount rate, t = time periodInternal Rate of Return (IRR)
0 = Σ [CF_t / (1 + IRR)^t] for t = 0 to n
