🚀 Quick Start

import { Calculator, Financial, Currency } from '@fin.cx/calculation';

// Basic calculations with precision
const calc = new Calculator();
const result = calc.add(0.1, 0.2); // 0.3 (exact)

// Financial calculations
const financial = new Financial();
const payment = financial.payment(200000, 0.045/12, 360); // Monthly mortgage payment

// Currency operations
const currency = new Currency();
currency.setExchangeRate('USD', 'EUR', 0.85);
const euros = currency.convert(100, 'USD', 'EUR'); // Convert $100 to €85

📚 Core Classes

Calculator - Precision Arithmetic

const calc = new Calculator({ precision: 10 });

// Basic operations
calc.add(10.5, 20.3);           // 30.8
calc.subtract(100, 45.5);       // 54.5
calc.multiply(15, 3.5);         // 52.5
calc.divide(100, 3);            // 33.3333333333...

// Advanced operations
calc.power(2, 8);               // 256
calc.sqrt(16);                  // 4
calc.ln(Math.E);                // 1
calc.round(3.14159, 2);         // 3.14

Financial - Time Value of Money

const financial = new Financial();

// Present Value - How much is $10,000 in 5 years worth today at 5% interest?
const pv = financial.presentValue(10000, 0.05, 5); // $7,835.26

// Future Value - How much will $5,000 be worth in 10 years at 7% interest?
const fv = financial.futureValue(5000, 0.07, 10); // $9,835.76

// Loan Payment - Monthly payment for $200,000 mortgage at 4.5% for 30 years
const pmt = financial.payment(200000, 0.045/12, 360); // $1,013.37

// Net Present Value - Is this investment worth it?
const cashFlows = [-50000, 15000, 15000, 15000, 15000, 20000];
const npv = financial.npv(0.1, cashFlows); // $7,946.11 (positive = good investment)

// Internal Rate of Return - What's the return rate?
const irr = financial.irr(cashFlows); // 16.89%

Interest - Various Interest Calculations

const interest = new Interest();

// Simple Interest - $1,000 at 5% for 2 years
const simple = interest.simple(1000, 0.05, 2); // $100

// Compound Interest - $1,000 at 5% for 2 years, compounded monthly
const compound = interest.compound(1000, 0.05, 2, 'monthly'); // $104.94

// Effective Annual Rate - What's the real rate with monthly compounding?
const ear = interest.effectiveAnnualRate(0.12, 'monthly'); // 12.68%

// Rule of 72 - How long to double your money at 8%?
const years = interest.ruleOf72(8); // ~9 years

Amortization - Loan Schedules

const amortization = new Amortization();

// Generate complete loan schedule
const schedule = amortization.schedule({
  principal: 250000,
  annualRate: 0.045,
  termYears: 30,
  extraPayment: 200 // Optional extra monthly payment
});

// Analyze the schedule
console.log(`Monthly Payment: $${schedule.monthlyPayment.toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Total Interest: $${schedule.totalInterest.toFixed(2)}`);
console.log(`Payoff in ${schedule.payments.length} months`);

// Each payment includes:
schedule.payments[0]; // {
//   period: 1,
//   payment: 1266.71,
//   principal: 329.21,
//   interest: 937.50,
//   balance: 249670.79,
//   cumulativePrincipal: 329.21,
//   cumulativeInterest: 937.50
// }

Currency - Money Formatting & Conversion

const currency = new Currency();

// Set exchange rates
currency.setExchangeRates([
  { from: 'USD', to: 'EUR', rate: 0.85 },
  { from: 'USD', to: 'GBP', rate: 0.73 },
  { from: 'USD', to: 'JPY', rate: 110 }
]);

// Convert currencies
const euros = currency.convert(1000, 'USD', 'EUR'); // €850

// Format currency for display
currency.format(1234.56, 'USD'); // "$1,234.56"
currency.format(1234.56, 'EUR'); // "€1.234,56"
currency.format(1234.56, 'JPY'); // "¥1,235"

// Money operations (ensures same currency)
const total = currency.addMoney(
  currency.money(100, 'USD'),
  currency.money(50, 'USD')
); // $150

// Percentage calculations
currency.percentage(200, 15);           // 30 (15% of 200)
currency.discount(100, 20);             // 80 (20% off)
currency.withTax(100, 0.08);           // 108 (8% tax)

Precision and Accuracy

All calculations use decimal.js internally to avoid floating-point precision errors common in JavaScript:

// JavaScript floating point error
console.log(0.1 + 0.2); // 0.30000000000000004

// @fin.cx/calculation precision
const calc = new Calculator();
const result = calc.add(0.1, 0.2);
console.log(calc.toString(result)); // "0.3"
