Affiliate Disclosure
PayslipIQ is an independent, reader-focused educational resource. This page explains how PayslipIQ is funded and how it handles any partner or affiliate links, so you always know where our income comes from.
How PayslipIQ is funded
The free tools and guides on PayslipIQ are supported by two paid products: a one-time Premium Pay Stub Report and a low-cost monthly Paycheck Monitor. PayslipIQ does not run display-ad networks, does not sell or share user pay stub data, and does not generate leads for payday lenders or other high-cost finance products.
Affiliate and partner links
From time to time PayslipIQ may link to third-party services that are genuinely useful to American workers — for example tax-filing software, payroll software, or directories that help you find a CPA, enrolled agent, or bookkeeper. Some of those links may be affiliate or referral links. If you use one and later sign up or buy, PayslipIQ may earn a commission or referral fee. There is no extra cost to you, and the price you pay is the same as it would be without our link.
Where a link is an affiliate or partner link, we aim to make that clear in context. If you ever see a recommendation and want to know whether a link is an affiliate link, you can ask us through the contact page.
What affiliate income does not change
- It does not change the numbers any PayslipIQ tool or calculator returns.
- It does not change the educational guidance in our pages.
- It does not buy a placement, a ranking, or a favourable write-up.
- We only consider partners we would be comfortable pointing a friend toward.
PayslipIQ tools estimate federal, state, and FICA figures from published government sources and your own inputs. Those calculations are never influenced by whether a partner relationship exists.
Independence
PayslipIQ is not affiliated with the IRS, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Labor, any state tax agency, any employer, or any payroll provider. Partner relationships are commercial arrangements only and do not imply endorsement of PayslipIQ by those companies, or of those companies by any government body.
Educational use only
PayslipIQ provides educational estimates only. Nothing on the site, including any partner or affiliate content, is tax, legal, payroll, accounting, HR, employment, or financial advice. Always verify important matters with official sources or a qualified professional. See the full disclaimer and our editorial standards.
Questions
If you have a question about how PayslipIQ makes money or about a specific link, contact us through the contact page. This disclosure is updated when our funding model or partner approach changes.
