Calculator needed for consulting career?

I don't currently have a calculator. I was curious on, whether or not, if I should invest in a good calculator (like a TI84 or better) for consulting. It’s pretty expensive so just wanted some thoughts before I invest like $150 on a calculator.

Also, do you need a calculator for case interviews? Do you bring a calculator to case interviews?
