Editorial Policy

How we write and check the numbers.

Numbers come from code, not prose

Every figure in every article and calculator example is produced by the site's calculation engine at build time. We do not hand-type statistics into articles.

Sources

Regulatory and definitional claims cite primary sources — the IRS, SSA, and OPM — linked in each page's references. We do not cite other calculator sites as authorities.

Corrections

Factual errors are fixed promptly. Email [email protected].

Advertising independence

Advertising does not influence which calculators exist or what they output. No sponsored rankings, no paid placements inside results.
