The easiest way is probably to use either or a combination of PHP and JavaScript, though you'll need to learn the basics. Consult the sticky atop this board for resources. Once you learn the basics and get an idea of how it'll work, come back to us with specific questions.
Actually, the easiest way is probably with Flash, but the tool to create it costs $800 or something. Not cheap, lol. There's Adobe Flash Catalyst Beta, but it has problems, and there's not many tutorials on how to use it, considering how new it is. I would use PHP. You won't need JavaScript unless you want to create cookies on the users computers to remember their username for future visits to the calculators. You could use JavaScript instead of PHP for all of it, but PHP is easier to learn and remember, and it's supported by every browser regardless of the user's settings, since it's translated by the server, not the user's computer. The best way to learn PHP 5 in my opinion is to download the e-book version of PHP 5 for Dummies. Most other books mainly deal with using PHP with the MySQL databases, which you won't need.
