Editorial policy
How calculator formulas and explanations are selected, reviewed, and corrected. Last updated: 19 July 2026.
1. Purpose
AnyCalc provides free, browser-based calculators. Our goal is practical accuracy and clarity, not sensational claims. Users should leave each page knowing (a) what was calculated, (b) which method was used, and (c) when not to rely on the number alone.
2. Sources we prefer
- Peer-reviewed or widely cited formulas (e.g. Mifflin-St Jeor for BMR/TDEE)
- Public health conventions (e.g. WHO adult BMI categories)
- Standard mathematical definitions (compound interest, statistics, trigonometry)
- Documented developer or protocol references (JWT structure, HTTP status meanings)
When multiple valid methods exist, we pick one documented default and describe alternatives in FAQ where space allows.
3. Review process
- Implement formula and unit handling with input validation.
- Write a long-form explanation and FAQ covering edge cases users actually hit.
- Spot-check results against independent examples or known reference values.
- Mark last review date on tool pages; re-check after material formula or UX changes.
4. Claims we avoid
- Diagnosing disease or guaranteeing health outcomes
- Promising investment returns or personalized financial advice
- “100% accurate for every person” language
- Hiding limitations behind marketing copy
5. Corrections
If you find an error, email sublimernj@gmail.com or use the contact page. Include the tool URL, inputs, expected vs actual result, and a source if available. Material fixes are prioritized; we update the tool and review date when confirmed.
6. Advertising
Ads may fund free access. Advertising does not change formulas. Sponsored content is not sold as “calculator results.” Cookie and ad practices are described in the privacy policy.
