Perhaps that this calculator does not have all the functions you can find on some more powerfull and recent calculators belonging to the HP business calculator family (14B, 17B, 17BII, 19B and 19BII) but how to resist to the only remaining model belonging to the famous and elegant 'Voyager' serie? 10C, 11C, 15C and 16C are gone forever and it is very difficult today to find one in excellent condition. With the 12C, you will find all the elementary business functions you need.
You can find this model new in 3 different versions:
- The standard version with gold metal display bezel,
- the platinum edition, much faster, with platinum like metal keyboard and display bezel,
- the 25th anniversary version (only available in 2006, hurry up!!!) which share the keyboard of the standard version and the platinum like metal display bezel of the platinum version with a 25th anniversary logo.
You can also find this model used:
- A recent one,
- One from the 80's: It is becoming a collector, try to find an USA made model.

My classes for real estate appraising required that I purchase the HP 12C. It is a powerful financial tool. It can do much more than I will ever learn (more than I care to learn). My husband uses computer spread sheets to figure amoritization of loans. This calculator does the figuring quickly. Instructions on how to use it were included in the class. It uses reverse polish notation which is different than most calculators. It takes some instruction to learn to use. I bought a used version because I needed it for the appraisal classes and it is a must for the state test. However, I don't know how much I will use it other than that. So a used version was a cost saving measure. Many of my appraisal calculations are performed on the computerized form. I don't have a need for this degree of complex calculating on an every day basis. It does perform as advertised.

My input for the HP12C Financial Calculator is not valid for this evaluation. I was purchasing a "Hewlett Packard 12C Scientific Calculator" according to the title and description, but the description did mention finance features. Having owned an 11C but not a 12C, I did not realize that the Scientific 12C did not carry financial functions. So, it was a misunderstanding all the way around. Now, I have a calculator that I can not use and have to resell it. If anyone wants a nearly new (in original box), let me know.

I have owned an HP-41cv with the financial pack and bought a 12c for the portability and longer battery life. I absolutely love it and used it every day with my work. I even went so far as to find an on-screen emulator for it to use on my Windows machine for those days when I forgot and left it at home. It's efficient, fast, and does more than I need. The documentation is first rate with excellent examples. Sad story is I lost it a few weeks ago and now have to buy another one... will you folks quit bidding them up?

I'm an appraiser in training & needed a HP 12c Calculator for my classes & the best place to get anything is on EBAY!!!!! (One mans junk is another mans treasure). I wanted to get one but didn't want to spend $80 to $90 for one at a local retail store, so I found one brand new on EBAY & I love it. It works great & helps me with my career in Real Estate & Appraisals!

I do love these.
Perfect fit for a shirt pocket.
Fantastic keyboard, screen, features.
Platinum and 25th anniversary have the choice of using RPN or ALG entries.
The 25th anniversary version is really nice.
The new case that comes with this is a really good upgrade, but larger.
So...you might want to buy slip case if you keep this in your shirt pocket. Of course it'll do fine without it IF you don't keep your pens and pencils in there too.

This is one of the first HP calculators I used in the 1980's for calculating mortgages. It was good then and it's good now. The only drawback was getting used to reverse notation.

Revised Review1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
We would like to revise our earlier review of the Hewlett Packard 12c Scientific calculator. In our earlier review, we gave the seller tober1635 a poor rating due to the fact that we believed we had not received the calculator. This was an error, as it has been discovered to have been delivered to our office in great condition.
We apologize for the misconception. The calculator works as promised in the description.

I bought this calculator for a Business Finance course, but it can be quite useful outside the classroom. I find it surprisingly easy to use, even though simple addition is done differently than on a normal calculator. It acts more like a computer in that it has built-in functions so you don't have to memorize formulae. The students in my class with other financial calculators seem to have a more difficult time using them to solve computations; so if you need a financial calculator, go with the HP 12C. It has been around for 25 years for good reasons.

I wanted this calculator because I am currently going to school for a fincance degree, and let me tell you this makes a lot of calculations much easier. I would reccomend this calculator to anyone in the finance world. I do have to say though the manual is about 200 pages long so I haven't had the time to read it all which makes me limited to what I can do right now. But once I know how to work everything it'll be great!

I burhased this calculator for my Intro. Finance class. I like the calculator because of its special functions(i.e. NPV, IRR calculations) that a regular calculator cannot do.

Another great HP RPN calculator for engineers
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I had a chance to use one of these for a while and found it was easy to use. The RPN (revese polish notation) system it uses is perfect for egineering calculations. Once you use one for a while it is very difficult to use any calculator with the AOS (algerbretic operating system). I only whish I had purchased one while they were still affordable. I finaly programed the same preprogramed time and money functions into my HP 11C for the classes I had in finacial caculations for engineers. Later when we purchased our 1st and 2nd home the progam I entered also came in handy running morgage numbers.
The battery life for these is outstanding.

This calculator is the bestThis calculator helped me get an A on my recent finance test. I was just cruising through questions with no problems. You have to understand the commands first before you take it to a test, but other than that, this is the calculator to own.

Good quality at reasonable priceI needed this calculator as part of my job duties and its functions are fantastic! This machine is very useful in performing financial calculations and does what it was advertised to do.
Furthermore, as I am on a limited budget, this calculator was bought refurbished at a discounted price. It arrived in excellent condition with a warranty and owner's manual.
