Lifetime Savings Calculator
This calculator will show you how much you'll save over the course of your lifetime when permanently switching from any given high priced buying habit (name brand) to its functional, less expensive equivalent (generic). Plus, it will also show you how much interest you could earn if you were to invest all or part of those savings as you realized them. As you're about to see, "a penney saved" can REALLY ADD UP! Note: When entering numbers into the data fields only use numbers and applicable decimal points. Entering commas, dollar signs, or any other non-numeric characters will cause an error. Also please note that this calculator has been tested to work with Internet Explorer 3.01 and Netscape Navigator 3.01 web browsers. However, both must have the JavaScript option turned on.
