Which calculator should I start with?

The paycheck calculator, unless the lesson is a loan, a mortgage, or a deal model. Each widget page has its own snippet.

Is this financial advice?

No. It is educational material. The widget applies a formula to the inputs typed into it.

This page is educational material, not financial advice. The figures come from the formula shown and assume the inputs you enter hold for the whole term. Your own rate, fees, taxes and timing will differ, so treat the output as arithmetic to check a decision against, not as a recommendation.
