Contact
If you spot an issue, want a calculator added, or have a correction request, email us. We read every message.
Responsibility model
These are the public roles behind maintenance, formula review, and editorial review. Correction requests sent here are routed through that responsibility chain.
Practical Finance Tools Site Owner
Site owner and product editor
Owns workflow design, site maintenance priorities, and correction triage.
Responsible for product direction, workflow clarity, and deciding how major calculator and content updates are rolled out across the site.
Practical Finance Tools Methodology Review
Formula and assumptions review
Reviews formulas, assumptions, scenario boundaries, and regression fit.
Reviews calculation logic, assumptions, and result interpretation so updated tools stay aligned with the formulas and guardrails described on the site.
Practical Finance Tools Editorial Review
Editorial standards review
Reviews clarity, source use, educational framing, and correction readiness.
Reviews whether pages explain the right decision, use plain language, and give readers a clear correction path when assumptions or wording need adjustment.
Trust center
Use these pages to understand who maintains the site, how pages are reviewed, how formulas are checked, and where to send corrections.
Who the site serves, what it publishes, and how maintenance priorities are set.
How pages are reviewed, what standards they must meet, and how corrections are handled.
How formulas, assumptions, and scenario limits are checked before and after updates.
Where to report broken pages, request corrections, or ask methodology questions.
When to contact us
- Report a correction request tied to a calculator, guide, or policy page.
- Flag a broken page, incorrect assumption, or output that does not match the stated methodology.
- Suggest a new tool or workflow when you can explain the decision problem it solves.
What to include
- The page URL you are referring to.
- The calculator inputs you used (if relevant).
- What result you expected and what you saw instead.
- Any supporting source or citation if you are requesting a correction.
How we triage reports
We prioritize issues that affect calculator results, broken pages, or misleading assumptions first. Requests for new tools and
general feedback are reviewed after correctness and site-access issues.
We typically respond within a few business days. If your question relates to a personal account, statement, or loan offer, please
contact your lender or provider directly because we do not have access to account-specific data.
What we can help with
- Broken calculator behavior or incorrect assumptions.
- Requests for new tools or topic hubs.
- Corrections with a credible source or lender reference.
Helpful context for faster fixes
- Your device and browser version (for example, iPhone Safari or Chrome on Windows).
- Whether you were on mobile or desktop and your screen size if the layout looks broken.
- Any rate, term, or fee details that drove the calculation you expected.
- The specific section or chart you are referring to if the page is long.
Before you email
- Include the calculator name and exact inputs you used.
- Share the result you saw vs the result you expected.
- Attach a screenshot if the layout is broken.
Privacy and sensitive information
Do not send full statements, account numbers, or other sensitive information. If you need to explain a correction, send only the
details necessary to reproduce the issue and point us to the policy, statement rule, or disclosure language involved.
See our privacy policy for how contact emails are handled. If you suspect a security issue, describe it
at a high level and include the affected URL so we can investigate without receiving unnecessary private data.
What we cannot help with
- Personalized advice or recommendations.
- Account-specific questions about your lender or card issuer.
- Requests to change calculator outcomes without a clear error.
Preferred response format
If you are reporting a calculator issue, a short bullet list is easiest for us to review: inputs, expected result, actual result,
and any supporting source. This helps us reproduce the issue quickly.
Requesting a new tool
- Describe the use case and who the tool helps.
- Share the core inputs and the output you expect.
- Include a source or standard that defines the calculation.
Media and research inquiries
If you are referencing our tools in an article or academic work, include the URL you plan to cite and any context. We can confirm
assumptions and clarify methodology for accurate attribution.
How we review corrections
We verify issues against the calculator assumptions and the source you provide. If a correction is needed, we update the page and
note the revision date so readers can see what changed.
What happens next
We log each report and review it against existing calculator assumptions. If a change is needed, we update the page and note the
revision date. If more details are required, we may follow up for clarification.
Availability
We operate on US business days. During high-volume periods, we prioritize issues that affect calculator results or site access
over general feedback.
Citations and methodology questions
If you have a question about a formula or assumption, include any source or policy guidance you want us to compare against. We
review reputable sources and update the methodology when needed.
