How calculator content is created, reviewed, and updated.

Last updated: May 2026

Last updated May 16, 2026. The site publishes educational finance content designed to explain calculator results, assumptions, and limitations in plain English.

Purpose

Content exists to help users interpret interest, savings, debt, and borrowing estimates. Articles and examples are written to explain decisions and trade-offs, not to recommend personal financial actions.

Creation and review process

  • Calculator content starts from a specific user decision, such as saving more monthly or comparing loan terms.
  • Formulas are checked against the methodology page and automated tests where practical.
  • Pages are reviewed for educational scope, visible assumptions, unique examples, and clear disclaimers.
  • Content is updated when calculator behavior changes, when a material error is found, or when a guide becomes too thin for its topic.

What the site does not publish

The site does not publish personalized investment recommendations, lender endorsements, tax advice, guaranteed returns, or paid placement rankings. It also avoids pages that repeat the same keyword with slightly different wording.

Corrections and feedback

Users can report calculation issues, unclear examples, or content errors through the contact page. Material corrections should be reflected in the page content and, when relevant, in tests or validation rules.
