I am maintaining a website for a financial investment company and I want to create a calculator for retirement, investments, pensions and savings. I am sure the process is logical but thought I would ask the group if they had any experience or knowledge of how I would go about creating such.
Unfortunately my Drupal knowledge is non-existent, however I would guess the first thing you need to do is decide whether you want it to update 'on-the-fly' with real time calculations, or if you want people to hit a 'Submit' button and then the screen returns the calculation.
This will probably make it easier for people to give advice
I actually just made an asset allocation calculator myself recently, I used jQuery and a flash pie-chart with HTML5 canvas fallback for the results. You can check it out here: http://johndoesdesign.com/dev/j/calc/. It's not too difficult to create something like that if you have some intermediate JS/jQuery knowledge.

Our site is edited with Drupal.
Any help is most appreciated!
