Editorial & Accuracy Policy

How the tools and the writing around them are produced, what they are checked against, and what happens when something is wrong.

Last updated: September 28, 2026

1. Formulas are shown, not hidden

Every calculator applies a standard, published definition — the reducing-balance formula for loan EMIs, compound interest with a stated compounding frequency, GST added to or removed from a price at the chosen rate. The formula is printed on the tool's page with a worked example, so you can check any result by hand rather than taking it on trust.

The reference points used are:

  • Loans and investments — the standard amortisation and future-value formulas used by banks, with the compounding assumption stated on each page.
  • Tax calculators — the rates you choose, or the published rates they name. Tax rules change, so check the rate against your tax authority before filing.
  • Units — the international definitions (for example, 1 inch = 25.4 mm exactly, from the 1959 international yard and pound agreement).

2. Limits are stated

When a tool can't do something well, its page says so plainly instead of implying otherwise. The PDF inspector explains that it does not re-compress images, the video cutter explains why cuts land on keyframes, and tools that send anything over the network say what and to whom.

3. How the explanations are written

The explanations, use cases, tips and guides on each page are written for the task the tool performs: what people are actually trying to do, where it usually goes wrong, and what to do instead. AI assistance is used while drafting and coding, and everything is reviewed and tested before it is published. Pages are not generated in bulk from a template.

4. Corrections

If a result looks wrong, email editorial@tabbench.com or use the contact page with the values you entered, the result you got and the result you expected. Each report is reproduced first. If it is a real error, the tool and any affected explanation are corrected; if it comes from a different convention (for example, GST-inclusive versus GST-exclusive prices), the page is updated to make that convention clearer.

5. Advertising is kept separate

TabBench is funded by ads served by Google AdSense. Advertisers do not influence which tools exist or what the pages say, and ads are never placed between a tool's heading and its controls or beside a download button.
