Who runs Netora

Netora is an independent website of free online tools for pay, tax, loans and money. Every tool is written and checked by our small editorial team, and each page explains the formula or data behind its answer so you can verify it yourself.

How we keep results accurate

We test each calculator against hand-worked examples before it goes live, cite the sources for any rates or published figures, and review pages when those figures change. Pages show when they were last updated. This site was last reviewed on October 27, 2026.
