Affiliate & advertiser disclosure
Last updated November 12, 2026
Short version: RateLever may earn a commission if you click a link on our site and then apply for, open, or buy a product. This doesn't cost you anything extra, and it doesn't affect the calculator math.
How affiliate links work here
RateLever is free and supported by affiliate relationships. Some links to lenders, credit card issuers, loan marketplaces, and brokerages are "paid" or "affiliate" links. These may be provided directly by a company or through an affiliate network. If you click one and, for example, get prequalified, are approved, or open an account, the company or network may pay RateLever a fee.
We label paid links where they appear, for example "Paid link: we may earn a commission," and mark them in our code as sponsored links.
What compensation does and doesn't affect
- It never affects calculator results. The math uses your inputs and the assumptions published under How we calculate.
- It may affect which companies we feature and where links appear on the page. The order of partner cards isn't a ranking.
- We don't cover every product or offer on the market. Other options may suit you better.
- Our guides are written to be useful whether or not you click anything, and they include reasons not to take a product.
Tracking tags on partner links
Some partner links may include a short placement tag, such as which calculator and button you clicked, so we can see which placements are useful. These tags don't include your name, email, or calculator inputs. Once you're on a partner's site, its own terms and privacy policy apply, and it or its affiliate network may use cookies to record that you came from RateLever.
Not financial advice
RateLever is not a lender, broker, or registered investment advisor. Calculator results and guide examples are educational estimates, not offers of credit or recommendations. Rates, fees, approval, and terms are set by each provider.
