Affiliate & Sponsorship Disclosure

Last updated: November 12, 2026. Complete disclosure regarding affiliate relationships, commissions, and mathematical neutrality.

FTC Disclosure Statement: In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, please assume that some links on this website may be affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

1. What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is an individualized URL containing a tracking code. When a user clicks this link and subscribes to a software service or purchases a digital tool from a merchant, the merchant pays a referral commission to the referrer.

Crucially, clicking an affiliate link never increases the purchase price you pay. In many instances, affiliate agreements enable special discounts, extended free trials, or bonus features for our audience.

2. Absolute Mathematical Neutrality of Our Calculator

The core purpose of Online Income Calculator is to deliver honest, verifiable financial modeling. We maintain an ironclad boundary between any commercial relationships and our algorithmic calculations:

Formulas Are Non-Negotiable: No platform, affiliate network, or software sponsor can pay to manipulate calculator formulas, inflate default RPM presets, or alter earnings outputs.
Objective Benchmark Sourcing: The conversion rates, average commissions, and view RPMs listed in our presets reflect verified creator survey disclosures and published partner network terms, not promotional partner bias.
Open Mathematics: Every formula used by our tool is published directly on the page. You can inspect the arithmetic and verify that outputs correspond strictly to mathematical logic.

3. Clarification on the In-App Affiliate Marketing Module

Our calculator includes an interactive Affiliate Marketing module designed to help creators model their performance marketing revenues.

The presets within this module (such as comparing Amazon Associates (2% to 4%) with B2B SaaS (20% to 40% recurring)) are educational industry benchmarks. Mentioning these categories or specific platform fee structures does not constitute a sponsored endorsement.

4. Sponsored Content and Brand Partnership Policy

If this website ever accepts sponsored articles, paid product features, or commercial partnerships in the future, we enforce strict publication rules:

Conspicuous Labeling: Any sponsored editorial or partner integration will be prominently marked with clear badges such as "Sponsored", "Partner", or "Advertisement".
Editorial Veto: We will never promote fraudulent "get-rich-quick" schemes, unlicensed investment funds, high-yield investment programs (HYIPs), or deceptive creator courses.
Honest Review Standards: Paid placement will never guarantee an uncritical or falsely positive review.

5. User Protection Commitment

We take our responsibility to the digital creator community seriously. We recommend that users always conduct their own independent due diligence before purchasing any digital tool, enrolling in courses, or making financial investments.
