Editorial policy and corrections

Policy updated September 20, 2026. Maintainer: Youssef Aaouam.

Authorship and human review

Youssef Aaouam creates and maintains the calculators and educational guides. The site does not claim a team of financial professionals or external expert review. Author attribution is not a claim of licensed financial, tax or legal expertise. A human publication review must confirm intent, calculations, sources and assumptions before a scenario is marked reviewed. Automated checks do not substitute for that review; no reviewer name is added without that person completing the work.

Sources and financial examples

Use original regulator, government, lender disclosure or academic sources for material claims. Identify the relevant jurisdiction and effective date for rules, rates and programs. A link to a regulator homepage does not support a specific numerical claim. Examples use the shared calculation methodology; assumed rates are labeled as scenarios and are not current offers.

Substantive updates

Change a substantive update date when calculations, assumptions, sourced claims or analysis change materially. A rebuild, cosmetic edit or new calendar year does not justify a new content date. Preserve original publication dates when known; do not invent missing dates. Review overlapping guides for consolidation instead of adding amount/rate permutations.

Conflicts and funding

TryFinCalc may be supported by advertising and, in the future, clearly disclosed affiliate links. Compensation does not change calculator formulas, examples, or editorial conclusions. TryFinCalc does not accept payment for lender rankings.

Disclose any affiliate relationship next to the relevant link before readers act. Separate advertisements from calculation results. No paid endorsement, traffic count or user review is asserted without evidence.

Correction handling

Email hello@tryfincalc.com with the URL, calculation inputs, expected output and a supporting source if available. Do not include account numbers or sensitive personal information. The maintainer should reproduce reported errors, add a regression check where applicable, correct all affected examples, and record material formula changes in the methodology version history. Materially unreliable pages should be held from indexing until corrected.

Educational estimates cannot replace personalized advice or a lender's offer. See the Terms and Privacy Policy.
