Advertising Disclosure

Last updated Oct 25, 2026

This page explains, plainly, every way PayoutCal makes money and what that does and does not influence. It is here because you deserve to know, and because the US Federal Trade Commission requires it.

Affiliate links

Some links to brokers, research tools and portfolio apps are affiliate links. If you open an account or subscribe after following one, we may be paid a commission by that company. It never costs you anything extra, and it does not change the terms you are offered.

Every such link is labelled Sponsored where it appears, carries rel="sponsored nofollow", and passes through a /go/ redirect so we can count the click. If a link is not labelled, it is not an affiliate link.

Advertising

Some pages carry display advertising. Ads are supplied by third-party networks, which may use cookies or similar technology to choose what to show you; see our privacy policy. Advertisers have no access to our data and no say in what we publish. Pro members see no ads.

Subscriptions

The Pro plan is paid directly by members. It is the only revenue stream where our incentive and yours are identical, and over time we would rather it were the largest.

What money never influences

The data and the rankings. Yields, growth rates, streaks, consistency scores, payout risk flags, screener order and list membership are all computed from market data by fixed rules that are the same for every security. No company can pay to appear, to rank higher, to be removed, or to have a figure changed. We do not accept payment for reviews or for favourable coverage, and we have no financial relationship with any issuer whose securities we cover.

If you ever believe a figure has been influenced by a commercial relationship, tell us at hello@payoutcal.com and we will investigate and correct it publicly.
