Review: Best Modern RPN Calculator - I won't lie, this calculator suffers certain quality control issues that plague other handheld calculators sold by HP (Note: the 35S, 17BII+, and 12CP are not manufactured in-house by HP, leaving only the 12C and Prime). Mine, for instance, will perform a factory reset after being turned off, about one-fifth of the times it is turned off. This means that I cannot reliably store programs, variables, or settings; I understand there are other issues that users have experienced as well, and of course it is sturdy and rugged as HP's calculators of old. However, HP has fixed the bug that would give incorrect answers, and that firmware is what has been loaded onto all the later produced machines, which is good. Despite its flaws, I must still say that it is one of my all-time favorite calculators. Its functions are a superset of all functions ever included in a financial calculator by HP (if you don't include timekeeping functions, that is). It includes functions for select statistical distributions, which are not included in any non-graphing calculator (however they could be programmed into certain devices, given a capable device and programmer). It has a very healthy set of scientific functions (some are buried in menus). It can store 10 data sets of x and y, 10 programs, 10 variables (not including those related to financial calculations), and a blazing fast ARM processor (which really can come in handy when computing IRR on cash flows). It has outpaced the 50g in the speeds of certain calculations. Included in the box was an overlay with programming functions that can be accessed when making a program by holding Shift and the button below. No stock photos on desertcart show the calculator with the overlay, but there are some to be found on the web some place (Note: the overlay is a sticker and is not intended to be removed and re-applied. You only get one chance to stick it on right, so make it count!). Bottom Line: this calculator has flaws, but I would take it over any other modern RPN calculator any day. Including the more expensive 17BII+ (with absolutely no contest). I only wish that someone would emulate this calculator for mobile, and that institutions would be more open to allowing this device on tests (check and see if this model is allowed for use for your intended purpose). Bonus: if you are into DIY, there are enthusiasts who have a process of flashing this model calculator to re-program how it works, and then attach custom key stickers, and call it the WP34S. Some of the modifications done are incredible, and the result is the most comprehensive calculator known to man. If you are not into DIY, then just know that they chose to modify THIS calculator because it simply has the best hardware (processor and memory) that a non-graphing calculator can get. Review: Higher build quality than HP12C Platium but not as good as 12C Platinum - I had my HP12C Platinum for about a year when its "Enter" key stopped working. Otherwise, it was a great calculator and I fell in love with RPN. So instead of purchasing an another possibly defective 12C, which costs twice as much as its competitors, I have decided to buy the HP30B, which like all HP calculators, does RPN. First, this calculator is somewhat on the large side. It is fairly thick as well. The buttons and the build quality seem to be better than the HP12C Platinum. The keystrokes have a very nice feel to them and the display is large and informative. As far as the speed of the calculations, this calculator is fast with no noticeable lag. The only part of this calculator that disappointed was its keyboard layout. I found myself entering way too many keys to make simple calculations. For example to get anything higher than a square (^2) exponent, you have to punch in the base number, input, exponent number, blue key, and the exponent key. With HP12C, it is base number, enter, exponent number, exponent key. Pressing that extra key in pressurized test situations is pretty annoying, especially if you need to do multiple of equations. The number of extra keystrokes is even worse when you have to factor by anything other than a square root. That involves base number, input, factor number, blue key, 1/x key, blue key, and exponent key. Wow and that can be really, really annoying. The keyboard is not laid out in an efficient manner, and that's too bad because if the keyboard layout was anything like the HP12C, I would think this might be the best financial calculator I have used (I have also used TI BA II Professional). ## Features - Extensive Library - Rotate and Click Technology - Thin Profile - 2-line alphanumeric LCD display - Inside the box: Calculator, Batteries, Quick Start Guide & Protective Pouch ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0037YOMWS | | Best Sellers Rank | #232,532 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #379 in Basic Office Calculators | | Brand | HEWLETT PACKARD | | Calculator Type | Business, Financial | | Color | black | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (137) | | Display Type | LCD | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00884962456705, 00884962456712 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Manufacturer | Hewlett Packard | | Mfr Part Number | NW238AA | | Model Name | HP-30B | | Model Number | NW238AA | | Number of Batteries | 2 Lithium Metal batteries required.

Out of the box the calculator is in chain mode but takes 10 seconds to change it.Calculator geeks differentiate between the different styles of RPN, this calculator follows a newer style that first appeared around 1987 where input is to the T register. **Q: My professor says I need a calculator that can "hold two lists of numbers that can then be manipulated" and "store a formula." Can this do that?** A: HP 17BII+ Financial Calculator will store named lists. You can get stats of the central tendency and spread or use two list for curve fit. To store a formula you can use the "Solver". The HP 17BII+ is also has financial and business solutions. **Q: When solving for a present value answer using annuities, could I just enter the annuity amount once (one time) using this calculator? Thanks.** A: I think so... I'm not sure... But this calculator is awesome... **Q: Is there any book or guide with examples so I could learn some of the functionality of this unit, they don't even supply a manual you have to go online. Thanks Tom** A: I went to HP's website to read some usage examples. I don't know if there is a book talking about this calculator since it's new and not that popular. It's very fast and has HP solver build in. You need to go to HP site to learn how to use the HP solver.

My model frequently malfunctions by reverting from RPN to algebraic mode on its own. I picked this up at a deep discount because HP decided to discontinue it. It's a powerful financial calculator that also has a sufficient suite of scientific functions for basic number crunching but it is unreliable. One big claim to fame of the HP 30b calculator is its ability to calculate option values using the Black-Scholes model. I believe this is the only financial calculator on the market that has this function built in. Certainly no other HP financial calculator currently available has this function. The Black Scholes function wasn't what drew me to this calculator because I don't invest in options. I was drawn to it because of the HP name and the RPN input format. This is where the let-down came in. HP is the ONLY calculator manufacturer making RPN financial calculator, so there isn't any choice there. The build quality of the HP30b is poor. It's comparable to the poorly designed and poorly built HP33c scientific calculator. I purchased this HP30b almost entirely because of its RPN logic, but guess what. After about a year or two of light use, the RPN setting on mine does not reliably stick. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, it reverts back to algebraic logic on its own after sitting on my desk a few days. I bought another HP30b and the same thing happens. If I didn't catch the change I would be greeted with a wrong answer during calculations. This kind of unreliability is simply intolerable. This calculator was not built to the same quality and reliability standards as the HP calculators that used to be manufactured in Singapore or Malaysia when I was in college in the 1980s. This could have been a factor why HP decided to discontinue this calculator. ## Frequently Bought Together - HP-30B Business Professional Calculator - Amazon Basics File Folders with Tabs for Filing, AMZ401, Sturdy, Letter Size, Assorted Colors (100 Pack) - Amazon Basics Multipurpose Copy Printer Paper, 20 lb, 92 Bright, 8.5" x 11" Letter Size, White, 10 Reams, 5000 Sheets --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1164547-hp-30b-business-professional-calculator](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1164547-hp-30b-business-professional-calculator) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
