Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency first — learn how PanCalculator earns commissions through affiliate partnerships.
Why This Disclosure Matters
At PanCalculator.com, we believe in complete transparency with our users. This affiliate disclosure explains how we earn commissions through partnerships while maintaining our commitment to providing accurate, unbiased calculators and helpful financial tools.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires websites to disclose affiliate relationships to ensure consumers can make informed decisions. We go beyond compliance because transparency builds trust, and trust is the foundation of everything we do.
How PanCalculator Earns Commissions
PanCalculator.com participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you click on certain links and make a purchase. Here’s how it works:
Affiliate Links
Some links on our site are “affiliate links” that track when you make a purchase after clicking through from our site.
Commission Structure
We receive a small percentage of the sale price as a commission, paid by the merchant, not by you.
No Extra Cost
Your price remains exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant’s site.
Our Product Recommendation Standards
We only recommend calculators, financial tools, and services that we genuinely believe will benefit our users. Our recommendation process includes:
- Thorough Research: We extensively research each tool or service before featuring it
- User Value Focus: We prioritize tools that solve real problems for our calculator users
- Quality Standards: We maintain high standards for accuracy, usability, and reliability
- Regular Reviews: We periodically review our recommendations to ensure they remain valuable
