Inspiration

Challenge to complete my first hackaton

What it does

A calculator to have the Return of Rate (Ror) of an investment but also the annualized RoR which is a metric that facilitate comparison the performance of different investments. Also some visuals to understand better this annualized Ror & benefits of compound interest

How we built it

With python using the platform https://mecsimcalc.com. This platform is really nice & give you opportunity to quickly develop an app using 5 steps. It is also facilitates de output using a rich text formatting + Jinja layout (instead of pure html)

Challenges we ran into

I have add an extra 'complexity' by offering possibility to introduce part of yer (quarter). The number is then expressed in decimal (eg 5,25 for 5 years + 1 quarter). The point was I want to reflect this as well on the graph & calculation reflecting compound interest. I realize at that moment the limitation of calculation in ninja.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Was able to use quickly memsimcalc & generate an output with not only text but dynamic graphes.

What we learned

I realize power and limitation of Jinja

What's next for Annualized RoR calculation on MecSimCalc

Maybe a similar calculator where Annualized Ror is the input, the output being the number of year needed to reach a certain amount/target
