Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: March 1, 2026

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines on the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. Transparency is a core value at Dividend Engines, and we want you to fully understand how we fund this website.

How We Make Money

Dividend Engines is a free resource providing dividend calculators, investment tools, and educational content at no cost to you. We earn money through affiliate partnerships with brokerages, investment platforms, and financial tools. When you click certain links on our site and subsequently sign up for a product or service, we may receive a commission from the partner company. This commission comes at no additional cost to you.

What This Means for You

• You never pay more by using our links. The price you pay for any product or service is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the provider's website.
• Our content and recommendations are based on independent research. We evaluate products on their merits, not on the size of the commission we may receive.
• Affiliate partnerships do not influence our ratings or editorial content. Our editorial team maintains full independence from our business relationships. We will never recommend a product solely because it pays a higher commission.
• We only recommend products we believe provide genuine value. If a product does not meet our standards, we will not recommend it regardless of any potential affiliate relationship.

How Affiliate Links Work

Affiliate links are specially tracked URLs that identify Dividend Engines as the referral source. Here is how the process works:

• You click an affiliate link on our site, which directs you to the partner's website.
• The partner may set a tracking cookie on your device to record that you were referred by Dividend Engines. These cookies typically last between 30 and 90 days, depending on the partner.
• If you complete a qualifying action (such as opening an account, making a deposit, or subscribing to a service) within the cookie window, Dividend Engines may receive a commission from the partner.
• The commission is paid by the partner company, not by you. Your costs are the same as if you had navigated to the partner's site directly.

Our Editorial Standards

We hold ourselves to high editorial standards to ensure the information on Dividend Engines is accurate, useful, and trustworthy:

• All broker and platform reviews are based on objective criteria including fees and commissions, available features, user experience, customer support quality, and regulatory status.
• We regularly update our content to reflect current pricing, features, and market conditions.
• We clearly label content that contains affiliate links so you always know when a link may result in compensation to us.
• Our calculator tools provide results based solely on the data you input and established financial formulas. Affiliate relationships have no effect on calculator outputs.

Which Content Contains Affiliate Links

You may encounter affiliate links in the following types of content on Dividend Engines:

• Broker comparison tables that list and compare brokerage platforms side by side
• Calculator pages with broker recommendations where we suggest platforms relevant to the calculation you are performing
• "Best of" and review articles that evaluate and rank financial products and services
• Resource pages with tool recommendations where we suggest software, apps, and platforms that complement your investing strategy

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255). We are committed to honest, transparent communication with our readers. We believe you deserve to know how we fund this website and how our business relationships may relate to the content we publish.

The opinions expressed on Dividend Engines are our own. We strive to provide accurate, up-to-date information, but we make no guarantees regarding the completeness or accuracy of the information on this site. Investment decisions should always be based on your own research and consultation with a qualified financial advisor.
