Calculators for Finance, Engineering & Basic Math

Not all calculators are created equal, and below are the types of calculators Staples carries.

Basic Calculators

These calculators perform simple, day-to-day calculations. They are especially useful for anyone who needs to double-check math problems or for helping children learn foundational math skills. If you don’t need to do much more than addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, basic calculators are perfect for you.

Scientific Calculators

For more robust equations and expressions, a scientific calculator may be necessary. Scientific calculators are used in science, engineering and in traditional mathematics. They are generally equipped with graphing, typing and plotting functions.

Graphing Calculators

Graphing calculators can be used for more basic math calculations, but their primary function is to create a range of graphs. While they are considered scientific calculators, their specialized functions make them stand out on their own. They are typically used in school courses such as algebra and science, and feature a larger display to see the entire graph you’re plotting.

Printing Calculators

Printing calculators create receipts of an entire string of calculations. So, rather than having to remember all of the numbers you entered into the calculator, you can review the receipt to check your work. This will help you keep accurate financial records while also establishing a paper trail to review in the future.

Financial Calculators

Financial calculators are used to compute profits and balance the books of financial statements. They are primarily used in banks and other financial institutions because they are designed to run the numbers on banking functions. Financial calculators are available in compact options that can fit into pockets or desktop versions for heavy duty use.
