Editorial Policy

Last reviewed: October 7, 2026

GenAlpha Tools publishes free calculators and plain-language guides for marketers, founders, finance teams and analysts. Content on this site is written and maintained by GenAlpha Tools Editorial. This policy describes the standards we hold that content to.

Our standards

• Accuracy first. Formulas, definitions and worked examples must be correct and checkable. Calculators are tested as described in our Calculation Methodology.
• Show the work. Every calculator shows its formula and a worked example. Guides explain the reasoning, not just the answer.
• Be clear about limits. We state the assumptions behind each estimate and say plainly when a result should not be relied on without professional advice.
• Write for real decisions. We write for people using the numbers at work or at home — specific examples, realistic figures, no filler.
• Plain language. We define jargon the first time we use it.

How content is produced

New calculators and guides are drafted, checked against the formula and its sources, tested with known-answer and boundary cases, and then published. We review existing pages when a formula, rate convention or common practice changes, and when readers report issues. Each page shows when it was last reviewed where that matters.

We may use software tools, including AI writing assistants, to help draft or edit text. Every page is reviewed by a person before it is published, and the formulas and figures are always checked independently.

Sources

We rely on standard textbook definitions and, where relevant, primary sources such as government agencies and official standards bodies. When a page depends on a figure that changes over time (for example, a typical rate or benchmark), we say where it came from and when.

Independence, advertising and affiliate links

Calculators are free because the site may show advertising and, in the future, recommend products we think are useful. Our rules:

• Advertisers and partners never influence a calculator’s formula or result.
• Any affiliate link will be clearly disclosed on the page where it appears.
• Recommendations appear after the neutral result, never in place of it.

Corrections and feedback

We fix errors quickly and openly. See our Corrections Policy, or email contact@genalphatools.in.
