Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: October 2026

How We Earn Money

Home Budget Compass is a free resource supported in part by affiliate partnerships. When you click certain links on our site and make a purchase or take an action, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Our Affiliate Relationships

We may earn commissions through partnerships with home improvement retailers (such as Home Depot, Lowe's, and Amazon), financial comparison services (such as lending marketplaces), and other relevant companies. These relationships help us keep our calculators and tools free for everyone.

Our Commitment to Honesty

We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe are useful for homeowners. Affiliate relationships never influence our calculator results, editorial content, or tool recommendations. Our primary goal is to help you make informed decisions about your home and finances.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly and conspicuously. You will see affiliate disclosures near affiliate links throughout the site and in the footer of every page.

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, please contact us.
