Our Editorial Process

How we ensure accuracy and reliability in every calculator

Our Commitment

Accuracy You Can Trust

Every finance calculator on our platform undergoes a rigorous development and review process to ensure accuracy, usability, and reliability. Here's how we maintain the highest standards of quality.

We operate with a Single Source of Truth (SSoT): all calculator titles, descriptions, authors, dates, keywords, features, and image metadata are defined in JSON files and compiled into an aggregate library at build time. Pages are generated from those values to avoid manual drift.
