Purpose
MyFinanceTools publishes personal finance calculators and supporting guides intended to help people understand common money decisions more clearly. Content is written by Callum Dunn and reviewed against the site's publishing standards before substantial updates are pushed live. The purpose is to make calculations easier to follow and easier to compare, not to present a product recommendation or personal advice.
How content is written
Content is written in plain language with a focus on clarity over jargon. Pages are structured to explain what a tool is estimating, what the main assumptions are, where the results may be less reliable and which follow-up checks matter before a financial decision is made.
Supporting guides are written to help users understand a topic before relying on a calculator output alone. Where a guide links to a tool, the goal is to connect the explanation to a practical estimate rather than make exaggerated claims. Drafts are checked for repeated phrasing, weak generalisations and unsupported product-style language before publication.
Accuracy and claims
MyFinanceTools aims to avoid misleading, exaggerated, or absolute claims. Calculators and guides are written to describe estimates, assumptions, ranges, and typical scenarios rather than guarantee an outcome.
Where a topic depends on tax rules, provider criteria, employer payroll settings, lender terms, or product features, pages should make that clear. Claims are checked against the page's stated assumptions, and important figures are expected to be verified against official guidance or provider information before acting on them.
Updates and reviews
Content and tools are reviewed over time and updated when a page no longer reflects the intended UK context, assumptions, or general rule set. Review dates are shown on key pages so users can see when a page was most recently checked. A typical review includes checking the calculation inputs, recalculating sample scenarios and updating the surrounding explanation where a user could misread the result.
Some updates are minor clarifications, while others may reflect a change in thresholds, rates, or how a calculator should be interpreted.
UK relevance
MyFinanceTools is written for a UK audience. That means examples, terminology, and many assumptions are prepared with UK tax rules, lending conventions, and savings language in mind.
Even so, some details can vary by region, provider, lender, payroll setup, or individual circumstances. Pages should therefore be treated as a practical starting point, not a final answer for every case.
