How the site is funded
Advertising & Commercial Disclosure
How advertising, sponsorships and future commercial relationships are kept separate from Finance Charts calculations and editorial standards.
How Finance Charts can be funded
Finance Charts is an independent financial-education project. The site may earn revenue from display advertising and may introduce other clearly disclosed commercial arrangements in the future. Revenue helps support hosting, development, research and the creation of new calculators and guides.
Advertising does not set the calculations
Advertisers do not determine calculator formulas, default assumptions, methodology or editorial conclusions. A paid advertisement appearing beside a calculator or guide does not mean Finance Charts recommends the advertiser, product or service.
Sponsored content
If Finance Charts publishes sponsored material, the commercial relationship should be clearly identified on that material. Sponsorship should not be presented as independent research.
Affiliate relationships
If affiliate links are introduced, relevant pages should disclose that Finance Charts may receive compensation when a user follows a qualifying link or completes a qualifying action. Affiliate compensation should not silently alter calculations, rankings or editorial conclusions.
Ad placement and user experience
Advertising should remain distinguishable from editorial content and interactive controls. Finance Charts should avoid ad placements that make an advertisement look like a calculator button, navigation element, download control or editorial recommendation.
Financial education remains the product
The purpose of Finance Charts is to provide useful tools, transparent calculations and understandable financial education. Monetization is intended to support that work rather than replace it with pages created only to display advertising.
