Acceptance

By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Not financial advice

The calculators, guides, and content on this site are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. They are not financial, legal, tax, or rental-approval advice. The outputs are estimates based on the numbers you enter and standard rules of thumb. They will not reflect every aspect of your individual situation.

Actual rent approval requirements, deposits, fees, taxes, and monthly expenses vary by landlord, location, and personal situation. Always confirm specific requirements with the relevant landlord, property manager, or licensed professional before making financial decisions.

Using this site does not create any fiduciary, advisory, broker, agent, attorney-client, or other professional relationship between you and the site operator. Always consult a licensed financial advisor, attorney, tax professional, or housing counselor before making decisions that affect your finances or housing.

"As is" and no warranties

The site and all content are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We make no warranties or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of the content or calculations on this site.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the site operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, savings, rental opportunities, or data, arising from your use of this site, even if advised of the possibility. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the site will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, in which case they apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the site operator from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the site, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party right.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Scrape the site at high volume in a way that disrupts service
  • Use the site for any illegal purpose
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, alter, or otherwise tamper with the site
  • Republish substantial portions of the content without permission

Intellectual property

The calculator logic, written content, design, and code on this site are owned by the site operator. You can link to pages, quote short excerpts with attribution, and share calculator result URLs. You may not copy substantial portions of the site or reproduce the calculator as your own product.

Third-party links

If we link to third-party sites, we don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, policies, or practices.

Changes

We may update these terms occasionally. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance.

Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the site operator regarding your use of this site, superseding any prior understandings.
