About HandyTallies

HandyTallies is a small, independent website of free calculators for dividend investing, FIRE planning, and everyday money questions. All calculations run in your browser.

Who runs this site

HandyTallies is a one-person project. I'm Kadir Laskar, and I build and maintain every calculator and page on this site myself. There is no larger team, editorial board, or panel of reviewers behind it.

I am not a licensed financial advisor, CPA, or other credentialed financial professional. The calculators apply standard, publicly documented formulas (for example compound growth, dividend reinvestment, and the Rule of 72) to the numbers you enter. They are tools for exploring scenarios, not personal financial advice.

How the calculators work

  • Every input is editable. Default values (such as an ETF's yield or price) are only starting points and can go out of date, so check current figures from the fund provider before relying on a result.
  • Calculations run locally in your browser. The numbers you type into a calculator are not sent to or stored on our servers.
  • Projections assume constant rates you choose. Real returns, dividends, inflation, and taxes vary, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

Corrections and feedback

If you find a calculation error, an outdated default, or a confusing explanation, please email contact@handytallies.com or use the contact page. I fix confirmed errors and update the page's "last updated" date when I do.
