Editorial Policy

Learn how CompoundLab creates, reviews, and updates finance calculators and educational content.

Last updated April 2026

CompoundLab publishes finance calculators, methodology pages, and educational articles designed to help users understand long-term financial planning assumptions.

The goal is to make financial calculations clearer, not to provide personal financial advice.


Editorial mission

CompoundLab exists to make financial planning tools more transparent.

A calculator should not only show a final number. It should also help users understand how that number was produced and which assumptions matter most.

CompoundLab content is built around four principles:

  • clarity
  • transparency
  • practical usefulness
  • visible limitations

What CompoundLab publishes

CompoundLab may publish:

  • financial calculators
  • calculator methodology pages
  • educational articles
  • comparison guides
  • planning explainers
  • assumption breakdowns

Topics may include:

  • compound interest
  • investment growth
  • inflation
  • fees
  • financial independence
  • retirement withdrawals
  • mortgage payoff decisions
  • rent vs. buy comparisons

Calculator methodology

Where possible, CompoundLab calculators are supported by methodology pages.

These pages explain:

  • the purpose of the calculator
  • the inputs used
  • the formulas or simulation logic
  • important assumptions
  • example calculations
  • limitations
  • what the calculator does not account for

The methodology pages are intended to make the calculators easier to understand and easier to challenge.


Content review process

CompoundLab articles and calculators are reviewed internally before publication.

The review process focuses on:

  • clarity of explanation
  • consistency with the calculator logic
  • obvious calculation issues
  • misleading or overly confident wording
  • visible assumptions
  • appropriate disclaimers
  • usefulness for readers

CompoundLab does not claim that every article or calculator is reviewed by a certified financial advisor.


No personal financial advice

CompoundLab content is educational only.

The website does not provide personal financial, investment, tax, mortgage, retirement, legal, or accounting advice.

CompoundLab does not recommend specific investments, lenders, products, brokers, funds, or financial strategies.

Users should consider speaking with a qualified professional before making major financial decisions.


Use of assumptions

Financial calculators depend heavily on assumptions.

Examples include:

  • expected return
  • inflation
  • fees
  • taxes
  • contribution timing
  • withdrawal rate
  • mortgage interest rate
  • rent growth
  • home appreciation
  • time horizon

CompoundLab aims to make these assumptions visible so users can test different scenarios.

The result of a calculator is only as reliable as the assumptions entered.


Updates and corrections

CompoundLab may update content when:

  • calculator logic changes
  • explanations can be improved
  • assumptions need clarification
  • errors are found
  • new methodology pages are added
  • content becomes outdated

When useful, methodology pages may include a changelog.

AI-assisted content

CompoundLab may use AI tools to help draft, structure, review, or edit content.

AI-assisted content should still be reviewed internally before publication.

CompoundLab is responsible for the final published content.


Advertising and monetization

CompoundLab may display advertising, including Google AdSense.

Advertising does not determine the calculator results or methodology.

Sponsored content, if ever introduced, should be clearly labeled.
