How We Make Money

Last updated November 2026

TaxSettlementCalculator.com is free to use. We pay for the site, our research and our calculators through referral compensation.

Referral compensation

We may be compensated when we connect you with a tax relief provider. This doesn't change your calculator results. If you ask for a free review and give consent, we share your information with one or more independent tax relief professionals through our partner network, TaxReliefLeadsCo.com. Those providers may pay for the referral. You never pay us anything.

What compensation does not affect

  • Calculator results. Your eligibility bands come from published IRS and state rules applied to your answers — the same answers produce the same results whether or not you ask for a review.
  • Our educational content. Pages are researched from IRS.gov, IRS publications, the Internal Revenue Manual and official state agency websites, as described in our editorial policy.
  • Your choices. You can use every calculator and read every page without sharing contact information.

Who we are not

We are not a tax firm, law firm, CPA firm or government agency, and we're not affiliated with the IRS or any state tax agency. We don't provide tax advice or negotiate with the IRS. Providers you're connected with are independent businesses responsible for their own services and fees — ask about fees in writing before you sign anything.
