Calculators that refuse to flatter you

Every tool here runs in your browser, on numbers you type. None of them invents a benchmark, a market rate or a forecast — and each one says plainly what it cannot tell you.

Free. No account needed. Results can be carried into Ted when you want the work done.

A score from a tool is readiness to run a test, not proof of demand. Only what other people do is evidence.
