Editorial Policy
How the site handles assumptions, explanations, and updates
This policy explains how calculator outputs and educational content are framed, reviewed, and updated.
Editorial approach
The goal is to publish clear money content that helps readers understand common decisions. The writing favors direct explanations, realistic tradeoffs, and examples that can be tested with the calculators rather than broad financial slogans.
Calculator assumptions
Many calculators rely on simplified assumptions such as fixed interest rates, steady monthly contributions, or stable inflation. Those assumptions are useful for comparison and planning, but they are not predictions.
Content updates and corrections
Pages should be reviewed when assumptions change, when a better explanation is available, or when readers identify factual issues. When a correction is made, accuracy matters more than preserving earlier wording.
Independence and reader trust
Educational usefulness comes before monetization. If sponsorships, affiliate relationships, or promotional placements are added later, they should be clearly labeled so readers can distinguish editorial information from commercial content.
