Editorial Policy

Standards

For a regulatory claim, we look for the responsible government office, board, statute, or rule and record a source link and check date. We do not substitute a vendor’s summary for a fee schedule when the authority is available. For market estimates, we identify the observed source and date and explain why the figure is an estimate. We avoid presenting a range as a quote.

Calculator articles describe the actual implemented inputs and arithmetic. Worked examples are labeled as assumptions. A missing fee remains missing; it is not filled with a plausible-looking amount. If a source is archived or uncertain, the record receives a confidence note.

Updates and corrections

Regulatory records are re-verified at least every six months and whenever a source changes. Stale records are flagged. See Methodology for the verification process and Corrections to report a problem. Advertising and future monetization do not determine what an article says; see our advertising disclosure.
