When researching in relevant literature, it was verified there was a certain emptiness of materials aimed at Elementary and High School, which dealt about Commercial and Financial Mathematics, mainly about practical applications in these areas. Thus, the aim of the present work was to discuss teaching practical aspect of Financial Mathematics in the training of secondary school students in order to encourage them to think about their financial future. So, with the purpose of facilitate abstraction of concepts and to materialize their dynamics, a Web tool was constructed allowing user to simulate gains will have with a certain investment. The Web Tool, called Financial Tool, includes investment simulators for Savings Account, Bank Deposit Certificate, Interbank Deposit Funds, Fixed Income Funds and Stock Funds. For simulator construction of each application was used software GeoGebra and for construction of the Financial Tool page were used HTML and CSS languages. The Web tool, besides being able to be used locally, can also be used online. In turn, HTML codes were validated by means of a validator available online by W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). Considering tutorial/didactic aspect of this work, finally are presented activities related to each application type, supported by the Financial Tool. Through bibliographical material and Financial Tool, it's expected High School students, and other interested people will reach an understanding about Financial Mathematics and, particularly, about financial applications. It is also hoped, use of these resources may stimulate students/users to save, so that they come to achieve financial independence, or that they can achieve their life goals through discipline and planning.
