Top 3 Websites Everyone in Finance Should Know About

The finance field is a very competitive and merciless field. Tons of finance websites exist out there,  but most of them are not free and contain a lot of mistakes. In this article, I'm going to be showing you great, free to use websites that could be very useful if used properly. I believe that  every single person in the finance field should check those websites at least once, so they can always know that they exist.

1. Stockchase.com

Stockchase.com is a great website that publishes stock opinions and prediction that have been discussed on the main stream business shows, business television programs, and Business News Networks. In addition, this website offers valuable opinions for free from big and important investors.

2. Ey.com

Ey.com is a great website with many functions. But the one I'm more interested in is the tax calculator. This site offers a very useful function that calculates how much taxes you're going to be paying no matter the province or the territory you live in.This is a great option to have available to you for free if you need to check the amount of taxes you or your client will be paying in a specific year.

3. Canadian retirement income calculator.

The Canadian government offers a free of charge calculator that helps you calculate the amount of money you will be getting at your retirement. In addition, it helps you to plan your financial future with some amount of certainty and it also helps to know what your financial future will look like. This website is very helpful and can be used for individual purposes or even for your client needs.
