About TVMCalcs.com

TVMCalcs.com offers tutorials on using financial calculators and spreadsheets to solve a wide range of financial problems. Established in 1997 to help his students with their calculators, the site has been owned and operated by Timothy R. Mayes, Ph.D. since its inception.

Tim Mayes is a Professor Emeritus of Finance at Metropolitan State University of Denver with over 32 years of teaching experience. He retired from MSU Denver in June 2024. He has taught: corporate financial management, financial modeling using Excel, investments, and portfolio management.

Dr. Mayes is also a recognized expert in the use of Microsoft Excel in the finance classroom and is the author of Financial Analysis with Microsoft Excel, 9th ed. You can purchase the book from Amazon.com – Financial Analysis with Microsoft Excel, 9th ed.

Every article on this site was written by Dr. Mayes based on materials that he has taught over his entire career. None of the articles are AI-generated, though a few articles may have an AI-generated podcast overview that he created using Google’s new NotebookLM tool. These podcast overviews are mainly for fun, though they can also be useful. Note that the “podcasts” are non-technical discussions about the article. You should still read the text.
