I tried your interest calculator and it fails. Maybe because it accepts duration in years and I've specified 0.5 (with quarterly payouts).

I didn't get any errors, just the wrong result (0).

I think the main problem is the poor choice of units: user should be able to select even days as units, not just months/quarters.

Thanks a lot for reporting this! I have fixed the issue, and improved the ui of the result given by the calculator. Do let me know if there are any more changes you would like to see.

I don't see the issue being fixed: try to calculate investment of $1M with 20% annual interest for a loan with 0.5y duration. The calc says the income would be 0.
