Are you affiliated with any government agency?

No. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any government agency (IRS, CFPB, HUD, VA, etc.). However, we base our calculators on official guidelines from these authoritative sources to ensure accuracy.

Accuracy & Reliability

Are your calculators accurate?

Yes. Our calculators are built using authoritative sources and reviewed by qualified professionals in relevant fields. We:

  • Base calculations on official sources (IRS, CFPB, HUD, VA, medical guidelines)
  • Have each calculator reviewed by subject matter experts
  • Update calculators daily to reflect regulatory changes
  • Test with real-world scenarios before launch

However, calculators provide estimates for educational purposes and should not replace professional advice.

How often are calculators updated?

All calculators are reviewed daily. When regulations change (like IRS contribution limits or mortgage guidelines), we update within hours of official announcements. Major updates are noted on the calculator page.

What sources do you use?

We rely on authoritative, official sources including:

  • IRS (Internal Revenue Service) publications
  • CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) guidelines
  • HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development)
  • VA (Veterans Affairs)
  • Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac underwriting standards
  • FDA and CDC for health-related calculators
  • Peer-reviewed medical research

Each calculator includes citations to its primary sources.

Can I rely on results for major financial decisions?

Our calculators provide accurate estimates to help you make informed decisions, but they should not be your sole basis for major financial, medical, or legal decisions. Always consult qualified professionals (financial advisors, CPAs, attorneys, physicians) who can consider your unique circumstances.

What if I find an error?

Please report it immediately! Email bugs@calcdomain.com with details (calculator name, inputs, expected vs. actual result). We prioritize bug fixes and typically respond within 12-24 hours. Critical issues are fixed immediately.

Privacy & Security

Do you store my calculation data?

No. All calculations are performed entirely in your browser. We do not transmit, store, or log your inputs or results. Your financial information never leaves your device.

What information do you collect?

We collect minimal data:

  • Analytics: Anonymized page views, country-level location, device type (to improve service)
  • Contact Forms: Only information you voluntarily provide when contacting us
  • Newsletters: Email address if you opt-in to updates

We never collect calculator inputs, financial data, SSNs, credit cards, or precise location. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Do you sell my data?

Absolutely not. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Your privacy is non-negotiable.

Are you GDPR compliant?

Yes. CalcDomain is operated from Italy (EU) and fully complies with GDPR regulations. We also comply with CCPA (California) and other privacy laws. You have rights to access, delete, and control your data—contact privacy@calcdomain.com to exercise them.

Is my connection secure?

Yes. All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption. Look for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar. This ensures any data sent to us (like contact forms) is encrypted in transit.

Using Our Calculators

How do I use a calculator?

Each calculator has a simple interface:

  1. Enter your information in the input fields
  2. Click "Calculate" button
  3. Review your results with detailed breakdowns
  4. Adjust inputs to explore different scenarios

Most calculators also include methodology explanations and educational content to help you understand the results.

Can I save my calculations?

Many calculators have a "Share" button that creates a URL with your inputs encoded. You can bookmark this URL or save it for later. Alternatively, you can print results or take screenshots. We don't offer accounts/saving because we prioritize privacy—no storing of your data.

Do calculators work on mobile?

Yes! All calculators are fully responsive and work on smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. The interface adapts to your screen size for optimal usability.

Can I use calculators offline?

Once a calculator page loads, it can perform calculations without an internet connection (since calculations happen in your browser). However, you need internet to initially access the page and view methodology/documentation.

Can I request a new calculator?

Absolutely! We love suggestions. Email support@calcdomain.com with your calculator idea. Include what you'd like to calculate and why it would be useful. We evaluate all requests and prioritize based on demand and our team's expertise.

Can I embed calculators on my website?

Currently, embedding is not available. However, you're welcome to link to our calculators from your website. For licensing or partnership inquiries, contact info@calcdomain.com.
