Editorial Policy

How we build, check and maintain our calculators.

Last updated November 8, 2026

Standard formulas

Every calculator is based on widely published, standard formulas. Each page shows the formula it uses so you can check the working.

Testing

Calculator math is tested against worked examples before it goes live, and re-tested whenever it changes.

Plain-English explanations

Explanations are written to be understood without specialist knowledge. Where a result depends on assumptions (rates, rounding, units), we say so.

AI assistance

The problem helper uses AI only to choose a calculator and read the numbers from your question. The answer itself always comes from the calculator's own formula, never from the AI.

Corrections

If you find a mistake, please contact us. We review every report and update the calculator and its explanation when needed.
