The disclosure
Some outbound links on RateFloor are affiliate links. If you follow one and go on to subscribe to or buy the product, RateFloor may receive a commission from that company at no additional cost to you. This disclosure is made in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and testimonials.
Where those links appear
Affiliate links appear only in clearly labelled recommendation sections and on the freelance business tools page. They never appear inside a calculator, inside a result, or anywhere they could be mistaken for part of the maths.
What a commission does not affect
It does not affect any number this site produces. The calculators are arithmetic, published formula by formula on the page that uses each one, and no commercial arrangement could change a result without the published formula becoming visibly wrong. It also does not affect your price — affiliate pricing is the same as going direct.
How recommendations are chosen
A tool is listed because it solves a problem freelancers actually hit, not because it pays the most. Where the right answer is free — a separate bank account, a spreadsheet, a template contract from a professional body — that is said plainly, including when saying it earns nothing. The tools page opens by recommending you buy nothing for the first few months, which is the honest advice and the least profitable one.
The calculators stay free
Commissions exist so the calculators can stay free, ad-free, and account-free. If you would rather not use an affiliate link, going directly to the company's site works exactly the same for you.
