Editorial policy

This page says plainly how the articles and calculators are produced and paid for, and what we do not claim, so you can weigh the site for what it is. Each point below is a check you can make yourself.

• Articles are drafted with AI tools
• Calculators list their assumptions
• Advertisers and advisors do not shape the content
• Mistakes can be reported and are corrected

1. What we publish

   General financial education for people who plan: articles that explain how a rule or product works, and calculators that let you try the arithmetic with your own numbers. None of it is tailored to a single reader, and none of it replaces a conversation with a licensed professional.

2. How articles are prepared

   AI tools take part in drafting and structuring each article. No byline appears on them, and we do not credit any article to a named individual. Read each as a general explanation and confirm anything that matters to you.

3. What calculators show

   Every calculator lists the assumptions it uses, on the page, and runs in your browser. Treat the output as an example that rests on those assumptions, and change them to match your own situation before you draw a conclusion.

4. Ads and paid introductions

   The site shows advertising, and advisors pay to be introduced to readers who request a match. No advertiser and no paying advisor decides what an article says, buys space in it or rewrites it. Money reaches the site; it does not reach the wording.

5. Rules change

   Tax and benefit rules move, and a page can lag behind a change. Check the current rule with a licensed professional before you act on any figure, especially a state figure.

6. Report a mistake

   If a figure, a rule or an explanation looks wrong, use the contact page to flag it. Errors we confirm are corrected in place.
