If you want to take a home mortgage, you must have clear estimation about how much money you have and how much you can spend on repaying a loan. The repayment money should include the principal amount and the rate of interest on home mortgage. The amount of money to be repaid depends on what your payment terms and period are. It can be paid on a monthly, bi-monthly, half-yearly or yearly basis. Mortgage calculators will be of great use in calculating all these.
Depending on the type of home mortgage one wants to choose, there are different calculators to him with calculations. There is one type of mortgage calculator with which a buyer can decide how much he can afford for a house. In this, there are two types one will help him decide price of house is with in his range and the other one will help him know how much down payment he will have to make. This will allow him to decide on what type of real estate is ideal for him and also how much he has to save up for a down payment before applying for a home mortgage.
Another type is the mortgage calculator to help a person consolidate all non-mortgage debts. This type of mortgage calculator is further sub-divided into 3 categories one to help him consider the option of merging non-mortgage and mortgage debts into one consolidated amount; another to help consider a refinance option of taking another home loan or by cash out and the third for those who have 2 existing mortgages and are consider ways of paying off the older mortgage.
Popular mortgage calculators are those that can be used to calculate each type such as fixed arm mortgages, adjustable arm mortgages, flexible amortizations etc. There is one type of mortgage calculator which will help the borrower calculate how much he can save by paying extra for the principal amount. This calculator varies depending on the mode of payments like bi-weekly, extra monthly etc., The refinance mortgage calculator is very another popular one for those who want to whether refinancing a property would fetch them more money in the long run. This again is classified in two depending on the refinance option a borrower wants to go for.
The insurance calculator helps the borrower know how many insurance premiums he will have to pay for the mortgage. The amortization mortgage calculator is used for calculating tax savings on interest and property appreciation. There is even a mortgage calculator that will help the borrower compare any two different mortgages and choose the better of the two that will suit him. For example one make comparison between adjustable and fixed rate mortgages or between government and private loans.
Fees and paying points add a lot to the mortgage amount being repaid. There is a mortgage calculator exclusively to calculate this amount for both FRM and ARM. Another mortgage calculator is used to determine which mortgage is more feasible, whether short term or a long term. All these mortgage calculators are available exclusively on the websites of lending institutions. Any borrower can use these calculators free of cost.

You're looking for RoofRay – http://www.roofray.com/
You can outline the roof, tell it the pitch, and it will figure out how much area you have available for solar panels and what they might produce in your area, assuming no shading issues.
You can also put in utility bills, and it will give you an estimate of savings, ROI, etc.
I've sourced you to a ROI calculator which will do the job for you if you are looking for a way to calculate this based on an investment in finance. There are other ways that this is used in different industries, such as direct marketing, where they will calculate the profit (return) on an investment in advertising, but my answer is assuming you are asking about ROI on a financial investment.
The reason you look for the return on investment is to calculate your percentage of earnings on any given investment. You would start by subtracting your initial investment from the total account value, which would give you your gain. You will then divide your gain by your initial investment, and finally multiply the result by 100.
Simple formula is: Gain / initial investment x 100 = % ROI
For example: You make an investment in a stock of $1000. At the end of the year, the value of the investment has grown to $1400. $1400 – $1000 is a gain of $400.
400 / 1000 = .4 x 100 = 40% return on investment.
The calculator I sourced you to will also break that down into an annualized return if you enter the beginning and ending dates, so that you know what your investment earned over a period of time.
You only need to muliply. All income is subject to tax, so if Income before tax is 1,000, and the tax rate is 40%, that will leave 60% after tax. Either multiply income before tax by 40%, and subtract it to get after tax income, or just multiply by the reciprocal, 60%.
To get the after tax return, as a percent, divide after tax income by the investment.
Example – Income before tax of 1,000 less 40% tax of 400 leaves Net after tax of 600.
If the invested amount was 100,000, then 600 / 100,000 = .006, or .6%
