Editorial Policy

Last updated: September 12, 2026

Our standard: IQlator aims to separate calculator math and educational information from advertising and commercial relationships. Partner compensation does not change calculator formulas.

What we publish

IQlator publishes calculators, calculation explanations, financial education, market and rate information, and AI-assisted explanations designed to help users understand common money, investing, loan and everyday math questions.

Calculator methodology

Core calculator results are produced by deterministic formulas and application logic rather than by an AI language model. Where practical, calculator pages explain the assumptions and formulas used. Results are estimates and should be checked against official lender, issuer, tax, investment or other provider information before an important decision.

Educational content

Educational material is written to explain concepts, trade-offs and calculation methods in plain language. It is general information, not individualized financial, investment, tax, legal or lending advice. We avoid presenting estimates, projections or examples as guarantees.

AI-assisted explanations

IQlator may use AI to explain concepts or calculator results. AI-generated explanations can be incomplete or incorrect. When a calculator supplies a numeric result, the calculation itself is handled by IQlator calculator logic; AI is used for explanation rather than as the source of the underlying arithmetic.

Rates and market data

Some pages use third-party economic, market or exchange-rate sources. We identify the source or observation date where practical. Data can be delayed, revised or different from a consumer's actual offered rate, price or exchange rate.

Corrections and updates

We review calculators and content as the site evolves and correct material errors when identified. Users can report a suspected error through the Contact & Support page. Content involving changing rates, offers or market data should be treated as time-sensitive.

Advertising and affiliate relationships

Advertising or affiliate compensation may influence which commercial offers appear and, where permitted, their placement. It does not alter calculator formulas. Sponsored or affiliate relationships should be disclosed clearly. See the Advertiser & Affiliate Disclosure.

Financial product coverage

IQlator does not claim to show every available financial product or provider. Inclusion of an offer is not an endorsement or a statement that the product is appropriate for a particular user. Eligibility and final terms are determined by the provider.
