Calculate Monthly Payments in Seconds
I launched a free financial calculator site 2 months ago — here’s what I’ve learned so far
A couple months ago, I shared FindMyMonthlyPayments.com here after launching it as a free resource for calculating things like mortgage payments, auto loans, personal loans, debt payoff, savings goals, and more.
Since then, I’ve been focused heavily on improving the site rather than just adding more features.
I’ve added more helpful content to the individual calculator pages, worked through SEO issues, submitted the site to Google Search Console, improved page titles and headings, and started publishing financial articles.
The encouraging part is that I’m now starting to see organic search visitors find the site through Google.
Traffic is still small, but seeing people discover something I built without me sending them the link has probably been the most motivating part so far.
My next big step is monetization. The calculators will stay free, but I’m considering adding relevant affiliate partnerships alongside the tools.
Right now I’m debating where to put most of my effort next:
SEO and content growth?
Affiliate monetization?
More calculators and tools?
If you were building a free financial calculator site from this stage, what would you focus on first?
Excited to share a project I’ve been working on:
The idea started with a simple question: “What will this actually cost me every month?”
Whether it’s a mortgage, auto loan, personal loan, or other financing option, I found myself jumping between calculators and websites just to get a quick answer. So I built a free resource that puts multiple monthly payment calculators in one place and makes it easy to compare costs before making a financial decision.
It’s still early, but I’m continuing to add calculators, educational content, and new tools to help people make smarter financial decisions. Also includes a blog and financial glossary.

Hey, just wanted to say — your product looks really impressive. It feels useful, clean, and like something that can actually help people solve a real problem.
I’m building Everyday Tiny Tools — a marketplace for small useful web tools, mini apps, calculators, generators, AI tools, productivity helpers, and simple utilities.
The idea is to give independent creators a real place to showcase their tools, get discovered, and maybe even earn from them.
If you’ve built something small and useful, I’d love to invite you to list it here: EverydayTinyTools.com
Tools can be listed as free, or as a simple one-time purchase through the platform.
And if you have any questions, feel free to reach out anytime: nuchem@lightboltlab.com
Really like what you’re building — wishing you a lot of success with it.
