Disclaimer
Last Updated: October 15, 2025
Please read this disclaimer carefully before using thy.finance calculators.
Educational Tools Only
thy.finance provides financial calculators for educational and informational purposes only. Our calculators are designed to help you:
- Understand financial concepts
- Estimate potential outcomes
- Compare different scenarios
- Plan preliminary budgets
They are NOT a substitute for professional financial advice.
Not Financial Advice
IMPORTANT: thy.finance does not provide financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
- We are not financial advisors, accountants, or tax professionals
- Calculator results are not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold any financial product
- We don't provide personalized financial guidance
- Our calculators don't consider your individual circumstances, risk tolerance, or goals
Consult Professionals
Before making significant financial decisions, you should consult with qualified professionals:
Financial Advisors
For investment strategies, retirement planning, and wealth management
Tax Professionals
For tax implications, deductions, and compliance with tax laws
Accountants
For business financial planning and accounting matters
Attorneys
For legal matters related to finances, estates, and contracts
Results Are Estimates
All calculator results are estimates based on assumptions:
- Assumptions may not match reality - Interest rates, investment returns, and tax rates change
- Past performance doesn't predict future results - Historical returns don't guarantee future gains
- Market conditions vary - Economic factors can significantly affect outcomes
- Individual circumstances differ - Your specific situation may require different assumptions
- Simplifications are necessary - Real financial products have complexities we can't fully model
No Guarantee of Accuracy
While we run 1,000+ automated tests and strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee:
- Calculator results are completely error-free
- Calculations match your specific financial institution's methods
- Results comply with the latest tax laws in your jurisdiction
- Formulas reflect all edge cases and special circumstances
Always verify important calculations with official sources or professionals.
Not a Substitute for Professional Software
thy.finance calculators are simplified tools. They are not replacements for:
- Professional financial planning software
- Tax preparation software like TurboTax or H&R Block
- Certified financial plans from licensed advisors
- Official retirement benefit calculators from SSA or pension administrators
Market and Investment Risks
Investment and retirement calculators assume certain rates of return. These are projections, not guarantees:
- Investment returns can be negative (you can lose money)
- Stock markets are volatile and unpredictable
- Bonds and savings accounts carry different risks
- Inflation reduces purchasing power over time
- Diversification doesn't eliminate risk
Higher returns typically mean higher risk. Understand your risk tolerance before investing.
Tax Considerations
Our calculators use simplified tax calculations:
- Tax brackets and rules vary by location (federal, state, local)
- Tax laws change annually
- Your specific tax situation may differ (deductions, credits, exemptions)
- We don't account for all tax nuances (AMT, NIIT, state-specific rules)
Consult a tax professional for accurate tax planning.
Loan and Mortgage Disclaimers
Loan and mortgage calculators provide estimates only:
- Actual loan terms depend on your credit score, income, and lender policies
- APR calculations may not include all fees (origination, appraisal, insurance)
- Closing costs vary significantly by lender and location
- Pre-qualification doesn't guarantee loan approval
Always get official quotes from multiple lenders before making decisions.
Retirement Planning Disclaimers
Retirement calculators make assumptions that may not hold true:
- Your actual retirement expenses may differ from estimates
- Social Security benefits are subject to change by Congress
- Healthcare costs in retirement are difficult to predict
- Life expectancy is an estimate, not a guarantee
- Employer matches and contribution limits can change
Work with a certified financial planner for comprehensive retirement planning.

You are solely responsible for your financial decisions. thy.finance is not liable for:
- Financial losses from using our calculators
- Decisions made based on calculator results
- Missed opportunities or incorrect assumptions
- Changes in laws, regulations, or market conditions
See our Terms of Service for full liability limitations.
Reporting Errors
If you believe you've found an error in our calculations:
- Email bugs@thy.finance with details

- We investigate all reports and fix confirmed bugs
However, we cannot compensate for losses that may have occurred before an error was discovered and fixed.
