This Editorial Policy explains how My Easy Calculator researches, builds, maintains, and updates the financial calculators and educational content published on this website. We publish this policy in the interest of transparency so that users and researchers can understand the standards we hold ourselves to.
1. Our Mission
My Easy Calculator exists to make accurate financial calculations freely accessible to everyone. We do not provide financial advice. We provide tools that reflect official government rules, formulas, and published rates so that users can make better-informed decisions.
2. Official Data Sources
All calculators on this website are built using rates, thresholds, and formulas sourced exclusively from official government and regulatory publications. We do not use estimated, crowd-sourced, or commercially sponsored data.
Our primary sources by country are:
| Country | Primary Sources |
|---|---|
| United States | IRS (irs.gov), FDIC (fdic.gov), Federal Reserve, SEC / Investor.gov |
| Canada | Canada Revenue Agency — CRA (canada.ca), provincial government tax tables |
| United Kingdom | HMRC (gov.uk/hmrc), HM Treasury, ONS |
| Australia | Australian Taxation Office — ATO (ato.gov.au), Australian Government Treasury |
| New Zealand | Inland Revenue — IRD (ird.govt.nz) |
| India | CBIC — Indian GST Portal (gst.gov.in), Income Tax Department (incometax.gov.in) |
Where a calculator references a specific formula (for example, the PMT compound interest formula), we cite the authoritative source for that formula on the calculator page.
3. Calculation Methodology
Every calculator on My Easy Calculator:
- Uses a transparent formula that can be verified against the cited official source
- Shows a full breakdown of how the result was calculated
- Includes worked examples with realistic input values
- Displays the applicable tax year or rate period the calculation is based on
- States the “Last Updated” date so users know when rates were last verified
We do not use hidden logic, rounding shortcuts, or undisclosed assumptions. If a calculator makes a simplifying assumption (for example, assuming monthly compounding rather than daily), this is stated on the page.
4. Review and Update Process
Financial regulations, tax rates, and government thresholds change regularly. Our update process is:
Immediate updates — When a government announces a change to a rate or threshold we cover (e.g. a new RRSP contribution limit, a UK Budget announcement, a new ATO tax table), we update the affected calculators before or on the effective date.
Annual review — At the start of each major tax year (April 6 for UK, July 1 for Australia, January 1 for USA/Canada), all calculators for that country are reviewed in full against the new official publications.
Quarterly audit — Our most-used calculators are checked quarterly against their source documents to catch any discrepancies.
User-reported corrections — If a user contacts us with a suspected error, we investigate within 5 business days and publish a correction if warranted.
Each calculator page displays a “Last Updated” date. This date reflects the last time the calculation logic or rates were verified, not just the date the page was last published.
5. Independence and Commercial Objectivity
My Easy Calculator:
- Is not affiliated with any bank, lender, insurer, investment firm, or financial institution
- Does not receive payment or commission to influence calculator results
- Does not promote or recommend specific financial products
- Does not accept sponsored content that affects calculator methodology
- Is not funded by advertising that creates a conflict of interest with accuracy
Our calculators produce results based solely on user inputs and official published rates. We have no financial interest in the results they produce.
6. Scope and Limitations
Our calculators are designed for general educational use and produce estimates based on:
- The inputs provided by the user
- The official rates and thresholds in effect at the time of the last update
- Standard calculation methodology (e.g. monthly compounding, standard tax brackets)
They do not account for every individual circumstance — for example, specific pension adjustments, carryforward room, unusual employment arrangements, or state-level variations within a country (except where explicitly modelled). Results should be treated as estimates and verified against official sources or a qualified professional before use in significant financial decisions.
See our Disclaimer for full liability terms.
7. Content Standards
Educational content published alongside our calculators (explanatory text, worked examples, FAQs) is written to:
- Accurately reflect the law, rates, or rules at the time of publication
- Be understandable to a non-specialist audience without sacrificing accuracy
- Avoid promotional language or misleading framing
- Cite official sources for all specific figures, rates, and thresholds
- Be updated when the underlying rules change
We do not publish opinion, commentary, or financial market analysis. Our content is limited to explaining how official rules work and how to use our calculators correctly.
8. Corrections Policy
We take accuracy seriously. If you find an error:
- Contact us at myeasycalculator@gmail.com with the page URL, the specific figure you believe is incorrect, and the source you are referencing
- We will investigate and respond within 5 business days
- If a correction is made, the “Last Updated” date on the affected page will be updated
We do not silently correct errors. Where a material correction is made, we note it.
