HP 17BII+ Financial Calculator

Product Description

The hp-17BII+ is aimed squarely at students and professionals in real estate, finance and business. Complex transactions demand a calculator like this -- powerful and easy to use! Clock with alarms Dimensions - 5.71H x 3.19W x 0.58D

Having used HP financial calculators for nearly 30 years, starting with the 12C, I found this to be the absolutely best calculator ever. The 12C was good in its day, the 17B was better, because it was faster, the 19B was ok, albeit chunky to use, the 17BII, was poor, as the keys were poor quality, but the new 17BII+ is back to great, better than the 12C or 17B, which were my two former favorites. I would highly recommend this calculator to anyone in finance; it is fast and the keys feel good - like the keys on the 12C.


I bought this in 2008 to replace another HP (48G) used extensively for work. I disregarded the previous reviews that this was an inferior product compared to prior HP calculators and have found that this was not a good idea. My main complaint is with keystrokes not registering. Now granted I believe you can turn on the beeper to sound when keystrokes are registered, but I don't want my coworkers listening to beeping all day, so that's not always an option. I have an old 12c and still have an old 48G and this product is now third in line behind those other two.

The 12c might be older and have less functionality, but its still a better option when it comes to usability.



I've always had good luck with HP products, but the HP 17bII+ is a bit of a clunker. The problem is that the keys are what can only be described as 'sluggish.' Meaning that it sometimes takes 2 key presses in order to be recognized. As you might imagine, this causes a LOT of errors. Rather than being able to use the calculator as one might do, that is, without really having to concentrate on the device itself, the HP 17bII+ forces you to take your mind off your real task in order to make sure that key presses are properly registered. Sorry, but I can't recommend this product.

One other thing... I DID call HP customer service about this a few months ago. They had me remove the batteries and do a complete reset of the static memory. It seemed to solve the problem for awhile, but eventually it returned.


Excellent easy to use calculator that does alot of functions. This is my second 17b.


The calculator is easy to use and great for all financial calculations. I greatly recommend it.


If I had to buy a financial calculator again, I would get the classic 12c. I needed the calculator for MBA accounting classes and found the 17BII+ adequate. I would have rather bought the 12c for less money. As a cosmetic note, the slightly curved sides of the calculator annoy me.


Can't work without RPN Love Hewlatt Packard products. sometimes the first number punched doesn't want to play


Love it. Works really well. No problems with the keys. It has the same key feel as the 12b.


I owned an HP 17B II for 18 years (yes, one calculator actually lasted that long!) and I loved it. It did everything I needed it to do, the buttons and display all worked great, and I noticed that it was built in Singapore. Well, the old thing finally died earlier this year and I bought a new HP 17 BII+, which I noticed was made in China. What a disaster! Half the time when I push the buttons, the machine doesn't register anything! That can be a major problem when working with a calculator, because you have to wonder all the time whether the machine actually has all the correct data inputs. I hate this calculator, but I still love the functionality of the HP 17B II. I can't wait for HP to come out with a new version, hopefully built somewhere that cares about quality! I'm really disappointed in HP for charging $80 for a calculator that isn't flawlessly made.


One of the best and most reliable products from HP. I had the newest version (2007) of the HP 17BII+ shipped to me. It's a great calculator, so far so good. Instructions and calculations are easy and simple to do. You will probably need to follow a textbook, but calculations are pretty well-explained in the manual, with a few examples too.

It has two lines of data input. Answers still remain on your screen even if you switch off the calculator, until you manually run another calculation or clear the screen. I use this calculator for statistics such as to find the mean, correlation coefficient and linear estimates, financial calculations such as finding the time value of money, interest, bond valuation, depreciation and cash flows, and regular math stuff. You can even use it for business-related queries, such as business percentages and markup, and input equations into the memory list. You can also do a few currency exchange calculations. Even making changes to a list that you already entered is simple.

It's light-weight, and easy to take around in the handy case. It comes with a pair of batteries, which are easily installed when you open the pack. It also has the clock option, where you can adjust for the current time and date, as well as set appointments. A total of 28K memory to store data, lists and equations. You can also print information using the HP 82240 Infrared printer.

Amazon has proved themselves again with dependable and timely shipping. Thank you.
