Frequently asked questions

How the tools, content checks and indexing process work.

Are FinanceHub UK calculators financial advice?

No. They provide educational estimates from the inputs and assumptions shown. They do not assess your full circumstances or recommend a regulated product.

Are calculator inputs stored by FinanceHub UK?

Calculations run in your browser. Saved calculations and recent searches use local browser storage on your device unless you clear them.

How are tax and benefit figures checked?

Published pages link to official sources, show an effective date and are checked against worked examples or known-answer tests before indexing.

How do you decide which pages are indexed?

A content page must have a distinct purpose, direct answer, useful explanation, current sources, realistic example and transparent limitations. Draft pages are noindex but remain crawlable for internal review.

Is content written for search engines or people?

People come first. Clear headings, concise answers, tables and structured data help search and answer systems understand the same information that visitors can read on the page.
