About MedCalc Suite
Last updated: January 6, 2026
MedCalc Suite was created to provide medical trainees and physicians with fast, focused financial and career planning tools. We believe that understanding the financial aspects of a medical career should not require complex spreadsheets or expensive consultants.
Why We Built This
As a medical trainee, I found myself constantly creating spreadsheets to answer questions like:
- How much will I actually take home after taxes during residency?
- When will my medical school loans be paid off?
- Is fellowship worth it financially?
- How much should I set aside for taxes when moonlighting?
Instead of keeping these tools to myself, I decided to build a free, accessible platform that any medical professional could use.
What Makes Us Different
- Fast & Focused: Every calculator is designed for quick "what-if" scenarios. No lengthy forms, no mandatory sign-ups.
- Finance & Career Focus: We specialize in the unique financial situations medical professionals face—from medical school through retirement.
- No Ads, No Accounts: Just straightforward calculators that work. [Note: Update this after AdSense approval to mention ads]
- Built by a Trainee: These tools are designed with real medical training experience, understanding the questions that actually matter.
Our Calculators
We currently offer 10 specialized calculators covering:
- Residency finances: Take-home pay, moonlighting taxes
- Career planning: Match probability, fellowship ROI, attending salaries
- Long-term planning: Loan payoff, disability insurance, retirement
- Education: Step exam study planning
- Practice management: Private practice break-even analysis
Educational Purpose
Important: MedCalc Suite is an educational resource. Our calculators provide estimates and general information but do not constitute professional financial, tax, or legal advice. Always consult with qualified professionals before making major financial decisions.
Data Sources
Our calculators are built using:
- Peer-reviewed clinical literature
- Published salary surveys and specialty data
- Standard financial formulas
