 Advanced October 3, 2008

This calculator is very advanced, it has more functions than I know what to do with. The 12c calculator is smaller and has more features than the BA-II. It also comes with a cool carrying case.

This calculator is the best financial calculator in the world. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a business calculator. Takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, you will not want to be without it.

25 Years and Still Going August 11, 2008
New England Yankee (Northern New England)
To be clear, MY 12C is 25 years old and still going! I originally bought it for results validation when programming bond and money market price/yield calculations. That software was used for next couple of decades in a variety of securities accounting, trading, and various other financial software suites. That the 12C was (and is) regarded by traders and portfolio managers as 100% accurate for such purposes should give you an indication why this calculator has dominated the financial calculator marketplace among professionals. Back then, only a Monroe bond calculator (a very expensive desk calculator) would have been preferred over the 12C. The 12C is still found on trading desks everywhere, though Bloomberg has become the reference standard for fixed-income.
The price in the early 80s was $225, and $75 now (plus or minus) - a bargain. I still like the small size and rugged build. One of the benefits of the small form factor is that it's convenient to bring along anytime you want basic payment calculations (for which the 12C has dedicated keys), as when making a purchase or in the real estate market. I can run rate & payment scenarios on the fly as fast as necessary.
There are limits to what the 12C can reasonably do with its built-in calcs. For example, while simple bonds are handled with the built in calcs (i.e., just plug in the parameters), non-standard bonds are accomodated at the expense of some programming. Anything really bizarre might have you resorting to plugging in individual cash flows - tedious if you have a lot of them, and now better suited for a spreadsheet. Basic variations around day count type, beginning/end of period-based discounting, date conventions, etc. are available with standard calcs.
This is a great, classic, and still highly useful calculator. The newest version is the first I would consider to replace my original, plus the newer version is faster.
