Simple Compound Interest Calculator is a free‑to‑use educational website that offers calculators, tutorials, and articles on saving and investing. To keep the lights on and the calculators free, we occasionally use affiliate links.
Why This Disclosure Exists
In 2015 the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) updated its guidelines on disclosure compliance. These rules require publishers—including bloggers, YouTubers, and niche websites like ours—to be transparent whenever a financial relationship (such as a commission or sponsorship) might influence the content an audience sees.
If you click a link on our site that leads to a third‑party product or service, assume we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Your purchase price stays the same, and the tiny referral fee helps cover hosting, developer time, and continued improvements to the calculator.
How We Make Money
- Affiliate Programs – When our articles or calculator sidebars link to a tool (e.g., a budgeting app), a book on compound interest, or a brokerage platform, we may earn a commission if you sign up or purchase.
- Display Advertising – We run a limited number of text or banner ads to offset operational costs. Ads never influence the math behind our calculator results.
We do not accept payment for positive reviews or guaranteed placements. Recommendations are made because we genuinely believe a product can help readers understand and harness compound interest.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Purchases or sign‑ups happen on an external website. Clicking an affiliate link simply tells the merchant that you came from SimpleCompoundInterestCalculator.com. If you buy something, the merchant may send us a referral fee as a “thank you.”
Important: The price you pay is identical whether you use our link or visit the site directly.
Amazon Affiliate Links
SimpleCompoundInterestCalculator.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program—an affiliate advertising program that allows websites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon products (e.g., personal‑finance books or calculators you can hold in your hand). When you purchase through an Amazon link, Amazon pays us a small commission.
Sponsored Content
We rarely publish sponsored posts. If we ever do, the sponsorship will be clearly labelled at the top of the article, and our editorial independence remains intact.
Changes to This Disclaimer
We may update this Affiliate Disclaimer from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
