How We Write & Check WiseYields
Our editorial process, and how we fund a free site, in plain terms.
Our Editorial Process
Sourced from official data
Figures come directly from HMRC, the Bank of England, the IRS and the Social Security Administration, not third-party estimates.
Checked before publishing
Every calculator and guide is verified against the current published rates and thresholds before it goes live.
Re-checked every tax year
Allowances, brackets and contribution limits change annually. We audit and update every figure as soon as new rates are published.
How We Make Money
WiseYields is free to use, with no subscription or paywall. We cover our costs through two clearly disclosed sources of revenue:
- Display advertising, shown via Google AdSense once you've accepted cookies. Ads never influence our calculator results.
- Affiliate partnerships, we may earn a commission if you click through to a product we mention. This never affects our editorial recommendations; full details are in our Advertiser Disclosure.
We never accept payment in exchange for calculator results, rankings, or reviews. Read more about our accuracy standards on our About page.
