Advertising Disclosure

Effective Date: December 17, 2025 | Last Updated: December 17, 2025

📢 Required FTC Disclosure

We want to be completely transparent: PercentageOffCalculator.com participates in affiliate marketing programs and displays advertisements. This means we may earn a commission when you click certain links or make purchases through our recommendations. This helps us keep the calculator free for everyone.

What This Means in Plain English

We make money in two ways:

1. Affiliate Commissions: When you click on certain product or service links and make a purchase, the company may pay us a small commission. This doesn't cost you anything extra—you pay the same price whether we get a commission or not.

2. Display Advertising: We show ads from advertising networks (like Google AdSense). These ads help cover the costs of maintaining this free calculator and educational content.

💯 Our Commitment to You

  • Honesty First: We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe are valuable
  • No Hidden Relationships: We clearly label all affiliate links and sponsored content
  • Quality Over Commission: Our recommendations are based on quality and relevance, not which company pays us more
  • Calculator Always Free: Our percentage calculator will always remain completely free to use
  • Editorial Independence: Advertising relationships never influence our educational content or calculator accuracy

How to Identify Affiliate Links & Ads

We believe in transparency, so we make it easy to identify when content is monetized:

Affiliate Links Are Marked With:

Sponsored Content Is Labeled As:

Example of What You'll See:

⚠️ Disclosure: This is an affiliate link. We may earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.

About Ad Targeting: Some ads you see may be based on your browsing history (interest-based advertising). You can opt-out of interest-based ads at optout.aboutads.info or optout.networkadvertising.org.

What Advertising Does NOT Affect

Here's what remains completely unbiased:

Your Rights & Control

You have complete control over how you interact with our monetized content:

🏷️ Price Guarantee: When you click an affiliate link, you pay the exact same price as if you went directly to the company's website. The commission we receive comes from the merchant, not from you. Your price is never increased because you used our link.
