I’m looking for a package that has the basic functions already for rudimentary financial planning such as forecasting how much X asset will grow in Y years and how many years until I reach Z assets, etc.? I know these are pretty simple, but I’d like to just use something rather than take the time to write a package myself.

I was planning to make a cashflow version with some sort of stochastic anslysis, that is you could add an item as a probability distribution instead of a value and then getting interesting risk measures using Monte Carlo simulations, but never had the time :-///

This Pluto notebook may be useful to you.

> I have now turned my compound interest calculator into a Pluto notebook, where the reactivity makes it really easy to explore input changes. The novelty is that you can quickly solve for any variable in the equation. Most online calculators I found will only solve for F. You will probably want to download and run it locally because I cannot get it to precompile on Binder. face_with_diagonal_mouth I’m still brand new to SciML, so tips are welcome. Enjoy!
It can solve for time, final value, etc. in just a few lines of code thanks to SciML’s nonlinear solver.

This looks great. Is there any way you can post the raw notebook? Binder is really laggy for me.

The direct link to the .jl file is [here](https://gist.github.com/nathanrboyer/5d4bb34e6c7d3ed19d70bbbb78370afd#file-compound-interest-calculator-jl). You can also export it from the binder link once it eventually loads.
