How We Verify
Accuracy is the whole point of a calculator. Here is exactly how every AZCalK tool is built and checked before — and after — it goes live.
1. Documented Formulas
Each calculator starts from a clearly documented formula sourced from authoritative references. The logic is data-driven and transparent, never a black box.
2. Tested Against Trusted Sources
Before publishing, every calculator’s result is compared against hand calculations and trusted references for known inputs. Anchor values must match exactly.
3. A Real Worked Example
Each page shows a genuine worked example computed by the same engine you use — so the method and the numbers are verifiable on the page itself.
4. Automated Regression Checks
Our calculators are protected by an automated test suite that locks in known-good results. If a change would alter a verified value, it is caught before release.
5. Ongoing Review
Rates, tax rules, and formulas change. We review and update affected calculators, and we investigate every reader-reported issue under our Corrections Policy.
Found a Problem?
If a result looks off, tell us at azcalkulator@gmail.com with the page URL and your inputs. We investigate every report.
