Editorial and corrections policy

Our standard

Content is written to be useful to an ordinary person in Australia, in plain English, without jargon or padding. We would rather publish a smaller, correct answer than a confident-sounding one.

Review before publication

• Every formula is checked against the published rule or standard textbook definition it implements.
• Every legislated rate carries the financial year and publisher it came from.
• Every calculator ships with a worked example that a reader can verify by hand.
• Anything we cannot verify becomes an editable input, not a hardcoded assumption.

Annual updates

Australian tax, super and repayment thresholds change on 1 July. Because those values live in one central configuration, we review and update them as the ATO publishes each year's figures, and we state on the page which year a calculator is using.

Corrections

If a calculation is wrong we fix it as a priority, not at the next scheduled update. Material corrections — ones that change a result — are noted on the affected page. Typos and wording clarifications are corrected silently.

Independence

CalcAussie is free to use. Results are produced by the formula alone; no calculator is weighted toward any bank, lender, insurer, fund or retailer, and results are never ordered or altered on a commercial basis. Where advertising appears, it is labelled and kept separate from the calculator and its results.

Tell us about a problem

Report an inaccuracy through the contact page. Include the calculator name and the inputs you used so we can reproduce it. See also our methodology and disclaimer.
