Felix Romero builds practical, user-friendly calculators that help households make confident home-related money decisions—comparing rent versus buy, estimating mortgages, and planning maintenance and utility costs. With a foundation in consumer finance and hands-on spreadsheet modeling, he focuses on turning everyday housing questions into clear inputs, transparent assumptions, and reliable outputs.
Over the past three years, Felix has contributed to small projects that translated lender terms and amortization math into step-by-step tools used by first-time buyers and renters. Internship work included validating APR and payment formulas against bank disclosures, stress-testing edge cases, and documenting variable definitions so users understand what drives results.
Felix’s approach blends careful scenario testing with plain-language explanations. He prototypes quickly, refines based on user feedback, and keeps calculators grounded in realistic ranges and unit checks—so people can see how rates, insurance, taxes, and maintenance truly affect monthly cash flow and long-term costs.

Caleb Moreno builds practical calculators that help households plan home costs with clear numbers. After internships with a regional housing nonprofit and a small energy-auditing firm, he has spent the last three years translating everyday home decisions into step‑by‑step tools—budgeting rent or mortgage payments, comparing utility rate plans, and mapping maintenance timelines.
His work focuses on the details that make calculators trustworthy: clean variable definitions, unit consistency, edge‑case checks, and transparent assumptions. Caleb likes turning messy bills into structured inputs and outputs—so people can see payment schedules, cost breakdowns, and savings scenarios at a glance. He favors plain language, short explanations, and examples that mirror real life, like seasonal energy spikes or HOA fee changes.

TV Mounting Height Calculator — Method, Inputs, and Examples
Practical guide to set your TV center height using viewing distance. Straightforward math, realistic ranges, and clear assumptions.
Inputs (with units and ranges)
Screen Size (inches): diagonal size; typical range 32–85.
Viewing Distance (inches): eye-to-screen distance while seated; typical range 60–144.
Formula Definition
Words: The mounting height is set as 60% of the viewing distance. This is a simple distance-proportional rule to place the TV center at a visually comfortable level.
Math: optimalHeight = viewingDistance × 0.6
Variables: viewingDistance = eye-to-screen distance (in). optimalHeight = recommended TV center height above floor (in).
Very short distances (< 48 in): The output may be lower than typical seated eye level; confirm ergonomics.
Very long distances (> 144 in): Result may place the center too high for smaller screens; validate sightline.
Screen size is not used in this formula: The rule is distance-based only; bezel thickness and screen height are ignored.
Wall constraints: Mantels or furniture may force deviations; treat output as a starting point.
Interpreting the Output
Compare to your seated eye height (often 40–48 in). If the result is far off, adjust ±2–6 in.
Use a painter’s tape mark at the calculated center height; test with a mock-up before drilling.
If tilting mount is used, modestly higher placements can still feel comfortable.
Limitations
This is a simplified comfort rule. It does not account for neck posture studies, display pixel density, or HDR viewing angles. Confirm specifics with your installer or mount manufacturer. General information only; not design, structural, or safety advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What inputs does this calculator use?
Only viewing distance (in inches); screen size is collected but not used by the formula.
What is the formula behind the result?
optimalHeight = viewingDistance × 0.6.
Is the height measured to the screen center or bottom edge?
The output is intended as TV center height above the floor.
How accurate is this for different TV sizes?
The rule is distance-based; it doesn’t adjust for panel height. Validate against your eye level and screen dimensions.
Can I use feet instead of inches?
Convert to inches first (1 ft = 12 in), apply the formula, and keep the output in inches.
What if I have a tilting mount above a mantel?
You can mount slightly higher than the result if the screen is tilted toward the seating position.
How should I round the result?
Round to the nearest inch for practical installation and hardware hole spacing.
