HP 30B Financial Calculator

A great under appreciated business calculator

As financial calculators go, this is a very good one. While the HP 12C is a legendary financial calculator, I'd put this one up as being at least as useful as the 12C. Like the 12C it is programmable though with more powerful programming options, it has a solve function and black shoales function that the HP 12C lacks, can be used in either algebraic or RPN mode, and has all the traditional financial functions and a bit more. The keys are solid in the traditional HP shape. The one thing that feels a bit cheap on this caclulator is that the black functions listed above keys is not printed on the calculator. Instead, a thin clear plastic overlay is applied for those. Overall a great financial calculator that was unfortunately overlooked by many finance professionals and collectors.

The seller shipped the item promptly and it was well packaged.Read full review

Better options in The market

Falls behind casio and Ti for ease of use via menus and numeric lists. You can do what the others do just much less intuitively and much more difficult to perform somilar functions. I suggest the casio 200 financial consultant as a better value that is much easier to use. I would not purchase this HP in The futureRead full review

The only financial calculator you will ever need! That can even be flashed to a scientific calculator!

This is one of the finest HP Calculators ever! As always, great products are no longer made. This is definably a "They don't make them like this anymore" product.

With a two line alpha numeric twelve digit display, it has the ability to input data via Reverse Polish Notation, Algebraic and normal Chain algebraic methods.

It is one of the fastest calculators available. Running in a native ARM code while many other operate their software by emulation. The 30b is also acclaimed by users for its improved rotate-and-click keys.

HP calculator enthusiasts has produced a firmware for converting the 30b into a programmable scientific calculator.Read full review

Powerful Little Marvel

I suppose this is an end-of-era product which is sad. I am happy to secure one before they disappear altogether. The calculator came in the factory-sealed blister pack and I am happy about that. The only slight, and foregivable, problem was that the batteries were dead. This might be expected as I would guess the item was manufactured over ten years ago and, although never used, I would not expect the batteries to be good after such a long time. The batteries are two CR2032s which have become quite expensive.Read full review
