Amazon.com Product Description
The BA II Plus Professional calculator features all the great features of its predecessor while packing in even more time-saving functions to make short work of complex equations. It's an ideal choice for entry level and advanced finance, accounting, economics, investment, statistics, and other business classes. It's also a great choice to bring to the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam. Along with the standard capabilities of time-value-of-money, accrued interest, amortization, cost-sell-margin, and depreciation calculations, users can calculate more advanced business and finance related issues. It will handle net future value (NFV), modified internal rate of return (MIRR), modified duration, payback, discount payback, and more. Its rugged metal exterior, firm-touch keypad and anti-slip rubber feet make it ideal for anyone in accounting, economics, investing, statistics, and related businesses. It also comes with a black protective case.

 The best financial calculator I've used. October 30, 2009
Andy F (Chicago, IL USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had experience with the standard BA-II Plus, the HP 12c, and this, the BA-II Plus Professional. Compared to the standard BA-II Plus, this one has a few extra functions which would have been useful if I had had this calculator during my college finance classes, but which now I don't have much use for at work. More than that though, the buttons on this version are far superior to the BA-II Plus. I found the buttons on that calculator far too soft, whereas this has a satisfying click that can be both felt and heard when a button pressed, much like the 12c does. I have notices that if buttons are pressed to quickly/lightly, they may not register, so I would just caution you to watch as you type, or to type slightly more deliberately if you notice a problem.
I also prefer this calculator to the HP 12c I have at work, although I do have far more experience using TI calculators, so I may be biased towards their interface already. That being said, while the RPN on the 12c is very useful for nesting several operations, the chain operations on the BA-II in combination with () buttons work just as well. However, I try to avoid nesting function after function on a calculator with only one display line in either case.
This brings me to my one complaint with the BA-II Plus Professional, as well as every other financial calculator: I want a financial calculator with a multi-line display! TI has recently released the 30XS Multiview, which gives me a scientific calculator with a 4-line display. When TI comes to its senses and does the same for a financial calculator, I'll be singing its praises all around.
Great Tool October 25, 2009
Joseph L. Curnow (Austin, TX USA)
I had a choice to make for college. It was either buy the BA II Plus Financial calculator or the BA II Plus Professional Financial Calculator. Either one would have been good for the finance and accounting courses I am taking currently. However, my decision came down to the matter of which one would be a better tool and purchase for after college and into the professional world and graduate school world. It came down to this version. Simply put, it has more tools on it that are good for finance and accounting, which made the difference.
If you are looking for a calculator that will be a great purchase for years to come, this is the calculator for you.

 Almost Great! September 17, 2009
10ashus (Southern California)
I bought this calculator because it is only one of two calculators allowed for use on the CFA exam. I have been very pleased with the calculator so far. In my MBA Real Estate Investments class it performed like a champ. I was able to perform NPV, IRR, and Amortization calculations faster and simpler than my classmates who were using the recommended HP 10B. Amortization is especially easier because the 10B limits the number of periods to 90, but the BAII allows longer, more realistic amortization periods like 360 for a 30 year mortgage. This calculator also processes much faster than the HP calculators.
This calculator has two big disadvantages compared to the HP 17BII+:
1) The BAII can only handle numbers to the single billion digit (10 digits).
2) The TVM function requires more key strokes than 17BII+.
Other than those two things, I really like this calculator.
Good product September 11, 2009
Good calculator for the money. A sight leaning curve for advance features. I would rate higher if I new how well it holds up and battery life.
