Generic Savings Calculator
|
This calculator will show you how much you'll save over the course of
your lifetime when permanently switching from any given high priced buying
habit (name brand) to its functional, less expensive equivalent (generic).
Plus, it will also show you how much interest you could earn if you were
to invest all or part of those savings as you realized them. As you're
about to see, "a penny saved" can REALLY ADD UP!
NOTE: Be sure to enter "0"
(zero) in any entry boxes that don't apply to you. Also be sure that
only numbers and decimal points are entered into the fields (dollar
signs and other non-numeric characters will cause a JavaScript error).
