Editorial Policy

Last reviewed: October 2026

This page explains how we write, source and update the content on The Tools Kit. It covers every tool page, our calculator methodology page, and the guides in our Blogs section.

Who writes our content

Our in-house team writes the tool descriptions, how-to steps, FAQs and blog guides. The work is led by Raja Jahangir, who runs search and content strategy for The Tools Kit.

We write about what each tool really does. Before we publish a tool guide, we check it against the tool's own code and test the tool itself. We do not guess how a tool behaves.

How we use AI

We use AI writing assistants to help draft and edit much of our copy, including tool descriptions, FAQs, answer summaries and blog guides. Drafts are not published as written: worked examples are recalculated, tax and rate figures are checked against the official sources we cite, claims about a tool are checked against its code, and automated tests check the calculators’ maths before every release. If you find a mistake, the corrections process below applies.

What we do and do not claim

We describe what each tool can do and what it cannot. If a tool has a limit, we say so plainly in its description or FAQ. For example, we say when a converter only supports English. We say when a calculator gives an estimate rather than an exact figure. And we say when a checker uses fixed rules rather than machine learning. We never suggest a tool can do more than it does.

Our free tools do not replace licensed professional advice. Pay and budget calculators are labelled as estimates for planning. They are not tax, legal or financial advice. If you need advice for your own situation, talk to a qualified professional.

Spelling and regional terms

We write in US English by default. Pages built for one country use that country's spelling and terms instead. For example, our UK, Canada, India and Pakistan calculators use words such as "lakh" and "National Insurance" where a local reader would expect them.

Sources and review dates

Some tools rely on outside data, such as federal tax brackets, state sales tax rates or a published formula. When they do, we name the source on that tool's page or here on our site. The Calculator Methodology page lists the formula, data source and tax year for every calculator.

Each tool page shows a "Last reviewed" date. That is the date we last checked the page's content against how the tool actually works.

Some figures change on a fixed schedule, like yearly federal tax brackets. We update those after the new figures are published. State and local figures change on their own timetables and vary by place. We label those as approximate and point you to the official source to confirm your rate.

Corrections

Please tell us if you find a wrong claim, an out-of-date figure, or a tool description that no longer matches what the tool does. We read every report and fix every error we confirm. Email us at thetoolskit.co@gmail.com or use our Contact page.
