Two weeks ago someone submitted the Paypal vs. Merchant Account Calculator to HN http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1471371

Are hackers going to post every calculator they come up with?

These are genuinely useful tools for an audience of startup cofounders. When you're bootstrapping or working off your angel funding, every dollar counts. If you can save $200 a month, thanks to these calculators, you've just extended your runway.

Probably. ;) The whole point of making these things is because they are fun to show off and potentially useful to other people.

No sense in building something useful and not telling people about it.
