HP 12c Financial Software Calculator

Editor's Review

HP 12c Financial Software Calculator is an on-screen calculator application designed to provide the exact functionality and styling of Hewlett Packard's popular and acclaimed HP 12c Financial Calculator. Purpose built for office users and finance-heavy professionals, HP 12c Financial Calculator Software provides an exact digital alternative to HP's standard desktop calculator.

Every function is replicated and available, along with some interesting new control options. Ideal for finance professionals, mathematics and investment teachers, and math-heavy business people, HP 12c Financial Software Calculator provides a familiar and powerful calculation interface for PC users.

The original GP 12c Financial Software Calculator is widely used amongst professionals and educators, and as regarded as one of the most complete and powerful investment calculators available. This innovative software-based version brings the same control to the desktop of users' PCs. Completely replicating the functionality of HP's physical calculator, HP 12c Financial Software Calculator provides a simple, low-maintenance interface for recording and calculating business transactions, investment information, and important finance-related data.

While PC calculators aren't exactly renowned for convenience and user-friendly operation, HP 12c Financial Software Calculator is surprisingly simple to operate and user-friendly. Rather than being an annoying productivity killer, HP 12c Financial Software calculator can easily be operated with a mouse or keyboard, allowing professionals to quickly and easily calculate financial information and record data.

Rather than relying on complex keyboard shortcuts to process data, HP 12c Financial Software Calculator is 100% visual - users need only click the on-screen buttons to mimic the actions of a physical calculator.

While the application installs quickly and is available as both a free trial (30 days) or paid version, some users have reported issues removing it when installed as shareware. HP includes an uninstall application, however the calculator itself doesn't appear in the Add/Remove Programs section, which could cause confusion for some users.

However, despite the occasional uninstallation issues, HP 12c Financial Software Calculator provides a powerful and user-friendly alternative to bulky physical finance calculators. Offering click operation and a wide range of financial calculation tools, this application is ideal for teachers, finance professionals, and small business users.
