Affiliate Disclosure
In the interest of full transparency, and in keeping with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements: some links on Appliance Cost Calculator are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you buy through them — at no additional cost to you.
Amazon Associates
Appliance Cost Calculator, operated by Pond Software, is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click a product link on this site and buy something, Amazon may pay us a small percentage of the sale — the price you pay is exactly the same as it would be otherwise.
How we choose what to recommend
The commission never decides what we recommend. Any product we point to is there because it's genuinely relevant to the page you're reading — for example, an energy monitor on a page about measuring appliance draw, or a more efficient model on a page comparing running costs. Our estimates and guides are useful on their own; you never need to click an affiliate link to get the answer you came for.
How affiliate links are marked
Wherever we include product recommendations, we label them clearly (for example, under a “Recommended picks” heading) and note that as an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Affiliate links use the standard rel="nofollow sponsored"markup so they're transparent to search engines as well as to you.
Independence
We are not sponsored by any appliance manufacturer or retailer, and no brand pays us to feature its products. Affiliate revenue simply helps keep the calculators free to use. For more on how we work, see our about page, and for how advertising and analytics data are handled, see our privacy policy.
