Basically for a personal checkbook, you can usually get away with using WinBatch floating point math operations and not get your bank too irritated at you.
However the rules for floating point math (with is native to Winbatch) and currency math are different in oddly subtle ways.
In any case the HugeMath extender can approximate currency math fairly closely.
Using the primitive functions in the hugemath extender you can, knowing the proper formulas, make UDFs to do financial functions (double-declining balance interest amortization?). I've been tempted to do this myself sometime, but something more interesting invariably comes along (such as emptying the pencil sharpener or maybe washing the sink).
