Frequently asked questions
Are these calculators free to use?
Yes, all six run entirely in your browser with no signup, no data collection, and no cost.
Do these tools save or transmit my data?
No. Every calculation runs client-side in your own browser. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere or stored — refreshing the page clears it completely.
Are these calculators a substitute for my fund's actual governing documents?
No. They are general illustrations built on simplified, common conventions. Always check figures against your fund's actual limited partnership agreement, offering documents, or a qualified professional's analysis before relying on them for a real decision.
Can I suggest a calculator you don't have?
Yes — get in touch and let us know what would be useful. This set covers the calculations that come up most often in fundraising conversations, and we're glad to add ones people actually need.
