Corrections Policy
How I reproduce, classify and correct a reported problem.

Reporting an error
Email contact@financecalculatorx.com with the calculator's address and, ideally, the shareable link produced by the Copy link button. That link preserves the inputs needed to reproduce the result. I prioritize calculation-error reports, but I do not promise a fixed response time.
How reports are verified
- Reproduce. I run the supplied inputs and confirm the reported output.
- Check against references. I compare the result with the documented formula, the automated tests and, where applicable, a relevant primary reference or lender schedule.
- Classify. Discrepancies split into three kinds: genuine calculation errors (a bug in formula or code), assumption mismatches (the calculator's documented convention differs from your lender's — e.g. daily vs monthly accrual), and expectation gaps (the math is right but the page explained it poorly).
What happens for each
- Calculation error: the code is corrected, a regression test is added where practical, the formula version increments, and the page's review date updates. A material correction also receives a note on the affected page.
- Assumption mismatch: the page's assumptions section is clarified so the next reader isn't surprised.
- Unclear explanation: the copy is rewritten.
Scope
This policy covers calculator results, formulas, worked examples and factual statements in guides. It does not extend to differences of opinion about financial strategy, third-party sites we link to, or outcomes of decisions made using the tools — see the disclaimer for that boundary.
