Our Story
Welcome to CalcNest. My name is Anjula Tiwari, and I live in Bangalore with my husband and our two children. Like many families, we often discussed future goals such as education, retirement, and the freedom to live with less money stress.
Those questions first became an Excel sheet for our own planning. It helped us estimate future expenses, review current investments, and understand year-wise projections in one place.
What We Help You Think Through
- How much money you may need in the future.
- What goals or expenses that money may support.
- How much you may need to save or invest today.
The Birth of CalcNest
As the worksheet became useful for friends and family, CalcNest took shape as a public platform. What began as a personal planning model now includes calculators for SIP, lump sum investing, retirement planning, loans, health, and goal-based estimates.
Our goal is to make calculations approachable. We keep tools lightweight, explain assumptions clearly, and give users a practical starting point for conversations with qualified advisers.
Free Financial Calculators Built for India
CalcNest focuses on practical online calculators for Indian families, salaried professionals, investors, students, and households comparing everyday money decisions. Popular tools include the SIP calculator, retirement planning calculator, home loan EMI calculator, NPS calculator, PPF calculator, CAGR calculator, XIRR calculator, and inflation calculator.
Each calculator is designed to answer a specific search intent: how much to invest monthly, how loan EMI changes with tenure, how inflation affects future expenses, how SIP and lump sum returns differ, and how much retirement corpus may be needed for long-term financial independence.
Clear Limitations
Results are estimates for education and planning, not professional financial advice.
