Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated 1 September 2026
TradeCalcHQ.com contains links to third-party products and services. Some of these are affiliate links, which means TradeCalcHQ earns a commission if you sign up or purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. You pay the same price you would pay going direct.
How this works
When you click an affiliate link, the company on the other end can tell we sent you. If you go on to become a customer, they pay us a share of what you spend. That payment comes out of their marketing budget, not out of your pocket, and your price is unaffected.
This is how the site pays for itself. It is why every calculator here is free, why there are no ads, and why nothing is hidden behind a signup.
It does not influence what we tell you
Calculator results are pure arithmetic on the numbers you enter. No affiliate relationship can change what a calculator computes, and none ever will. There is no code path in which a partner’s existence affects your figures.
The same applies to our written guides. We recommend a tool because we think it suits the job described, not because of what it pays. Where a genuinely better option pays us nothing, we say so.
Categories we have relationships in
Our affiliate relationships include but are not limited to:
- Accounting and bookkeeping software
- Tax preparation services
- Business formation and registered agent services
- CRM and sales tracking tools
- Productivity and business software
This list changes as the site grows. Any link that earns us a commission is an affiliate link, whether or not the category appears above.
How to spot one
Affiliate links are marked in the page markup and are always to a product relevant to what you are reading. If you would rather not use one, search for the product by name and go direct. It costs you nothing either way, and the calculators work exactly the same.
Why we disclose this
Because you are entitled to know when a recommendation carries a financial interest. It is also required: the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guidelines require clear disclosure of material connections between a publisher and the products it promotes. This page, and the link to it in the footer of every page, is that disclosure.
