HP 10BII+ Financial Calculator Review

A review of the HP 10BII+, HP's great value entry level financial calculator. You can buy the 10BII+ on Amazon using the following affiliate link:

In this review I walk through the evolution of the calculator from the 10B and 10BII, its basic operation, and financial functions such as: time value of money, cashflow, bond and breakeven calculations. I also demo its statistics and scientific features, and compare it to HP's two higher end financial calculators, the 12C and 17BII+.

Hi. Thanks for the good review. With financial calculations, it is easier to follow if your example problems were written down.

[@CalculatorCulture]

Thanks for the great feedback Arjunaidi. I'll include written problems in the future.

Lol i like how everytime you review a newer model of a calculator you always have a couple of it's older models for comparison to show. Like how many calculators do you have ?! I'm so jealous

[@CalculatorCulture]

Haha.. i have too many. I started off with a rule I would only have one shoe box full, now i'm up to 5 shoe boxes. Still I don't consider myself a serious collector - i'm more interested in documenting these great devices. I buy most in Australia on FB marketplace - they tend to be cheaper than ebay.

Underrated calculator because is algebraic (Fanatic RPN -lovers hate it)!!!
For me, much better calculator than the hp 12c. Scientific functions add. Faster, accurate, More memory 👍👍

Can you perform discounted cash flow to find intrinsic value of a stock with this calculator?

[@StressBlister]

There seems to be another model of the bii that fits between the bii you displayed and the bii+. It has a similar form factor as the bii+ , silver border around keypad area, and less functionality, like the trig functions.

I have it

Hi! This one or the hp 12c platinum?

[@CalculatorCulture]

They are both good calculators so it somewhat comes down to taste. The biggest differences are that the 10BII+ supports some more functions, but the 12C supports RPN and you can program it.

I am thinking about buying one but really these days isn't it better to just use Excel for working out formulas.

[@CalculatorCulture]

Yeah that’s true, although sometimes it’s nice to have a calculator for a quick calculation.
