Editorial Policy
Last updated: August 1, 2026
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Margitrix publishes financial calculator tools and educational content for entrepreneurs, e-commerce sellers, and individuals making financial decisions. Because our content falls within the "Your Money or Your Life" (YMYL) category, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and trustworthiness.
We follow Google's Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines on Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T) as a framework for producing content that genuinely helps users.
Editorial Team
All content on Margitrix is produced and reviewed by our editorial team:
Our editorial team comprises financial writers, e-commerce practitioners, and data analysts with extensive experience in marketplace selling, digital advertising, and personal finance. All team members have practical, hands-on experience in the topics they write about.
Every calculator formula is independently verified against official platform documentation (Amazon Seller Central, Etsy Seller Handbook, Shopify Help Centre, IRS publications, HMRC guidance) before publication. Formulas are re-validated whenever platforms announce fee changes.
For author information, see our Editorial Team page.
Content Creation Standards
Research Process
- All calculator data is sourced from official platform documentation and government tax authorities.
- We cross-reference multiple authoritative sources for every statistic or figure cited.
- Blog articles are written based on first-hand experience and/or expert research.
- We cite primary sources where available (IRS, HMRC, ATO, official platform help centres).
What We Publish
- Original educational content about e-commerce, personal finance, and business operations.
- Free financial calculators with verified, accurate formulas.
- Practical guides and tutorials for entrepreneurs and marketplace sellers.
- Fee comparisons and breakdowns for major e-commerce platforms.
What We Don't Publish
- Content intended to mislead users about financial products or services.
- Unsubstantiated financial claims or guarantees of specific outcomes.
- Sponsored content or native advertising disguised as independent editorial.
- Content generated entirely by AI without human review and verification.
AI Content Policy
Margitrix may use AI-assisted writing tools to help draft content. However:
- All AI-assisted content is reviewed, edited, and verified by a human editor before publication.
- Calculator formulas are written and verified by humans — not generated by AI.
- We do not publish raw AI output without meaningful human review and enhancement.
- All factual claims, statistics, and figures are independently verified regardless of source.
Update and Review Policy
Financial information changes frequently. Our update schedule:
Each calculator page and article displays its "Last Updated" date so readers can assess freshness.
Corrections Policy
We take accuracy seriously. When we discover or are informed of an error:
- Minor errors (typos, formatting): Corrected immediately upon discovery.
- Factual errors (incorrect figures, outdated data): Corrected within 48 hours. The article is updated with a correction note.
- Formula errors: The calculator is taken offline for review and corrected before relaunching. Users who may have been affected are notified via a site notice.
To report an error, please use our Contact page and select "Report an Inaccuracy" as the subject. We respond to all correction requests within 2 business days.
Advertising and Commercial Relationships
Margitrix is supported by display advertising (Google AdSense). Our editorial content is entirely independent from our advertising relationships:
- Advertisers have no influence over our calculator formulas, editorial content, or tool recommendations.
- We do not accept payment for positive reviews or calculator results.
- Sponsored content, if ever published, will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored" or "Advertisement".
- Affiliate links, if used, will be disclosed at the top of the relevant page.
See our Advertising Disclosure for full details.
Independence and Objectivity
Margitrix is an independent platform with no ownership by or financial relationship with Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, Stripe, Google, or any other platform we calculate for. Our fee data comes from official public documentation. When platforms change their fee structures, we update our tools regardless of any commercial relationship.
