Run the math before buying creator software

Each calculator shows its formula and its assumptions, so you can disagree with a number, change the inputs and watch the result move. Rough estimates are enough: none of these needs data you would have to go and collect.

Pair a result with a side-by-side comparison when you are down to two options, or start from the software directory if you are still building the shortlist.
