In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), FigureQuick transparently discloses that we maintain financial relationships with certain software vendors, payment processors, financial institutions, and service providers linked on this website.
1. Proximate Material Connection Disclosure
Whenever you use one of our 131+ calculators, you will see a clear, proximate FTC Advertiser & Affiliate Disclosure directly above our "Compare Top 3 Providers" matrix and partner recommendation cards. If you click on a partner link or submit a local ZIP code quote request and subsequently sign up or make a purchase, FigureQuick may receive a referral commission, CPA bounty, or pay-per-lead fee.
- Zero Extra Cost to You: Clicking an affiliate link never increases the price, fee schedule, or interest rate you pay. In many cases, our partner links unlock negotiated fee waivers or promotional sign-up credits (such as $1/month store trials or free processing credits).
2. How FigureQuick Is Funded (No Paywalls)
We believe accurate financial, tax, e-commerce, and engineering calculators should be 100% free and accessible without registration walls. We fund our engineering and rate-verification updates through four transparent channels:
- Affiliate Commissions (CPA / RevShare): Referral fees when users voluntarily switch to a lower-fee processor, marketplace tool, S-Corp payroll service, or financial account.
- Direct Calculator Sponsorships ($99/Month): Clearly labeled "Sponsored Partner" placements in our Top-3 comparison tables.
- Optional Lifetime Pro CSV License ($19 One-Time): For CPAs, agencies, and power sellers who want 1-click CSV spreadsheet exports.
- Contextual Display Advertising: Non-intrusive display units served via Google AdSense / Mediavine.
3. Strict Mathematical & Editorial Independence Guarantee
No sponsor or affiliate partner can ever purchase, alter, or influence the mathematical equations inside our calculators.
- Every fee percentage, fixed transaction cost, amortization curve, FICA/SECA tax bracket, and geometry formula is hard-coded from publicly verified 2026 statutory schedules and published processor rate cards.
- If a processor or marketplace is more expensive for your specific order size, our calculator table will mathematically show that higher cost in red—regardless of whether that company is an affiliate partner.
4. Participating Affiliate & Partner Networks
FigureQuick may participate in affiliate programs administered by Impact.com, CJ Affiliate, PartnerStack, ShareASale/Awin, Amazon Associates, Shopify Partners, Gusto Partners, Wise Partners, LendingTree, and direct B2B SaaS referral programs. As an Amazon Associate and software affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
5. Direct Advertiser & Sponsorship Standards
All direct sponsors purchasing a placement via our Advertise Page must comply with truth-in-advertising standards under Section 5 of the FTC Act (15 U.S.C. § 45) and are clearly badged so users can distinguish sponsored offers from organic mathematical outputs.
