The answer should come first.

What LifeWidget is

LifeWidget is an independently operated collection of practical browser-based calculators and utilities. We build tools for freelancers, digital marketers, creators, online sellers and people handling everyday money, time and planning decisions.

Why I built this

I kept finding calculator pages that turned a five-second question into a maze of pop-ups, vague explanations and unnecessary registrations. LifeWidget was started to put the working tool first, show the method clearly and be honest about what a result cannot tell you.

The person behind LifeWidget stays out of the spotlight by choice. The work is still accountable: meaningful changes are recorded on the Updates page, calculator review dates are visible and visitors have a direct way to report a problem.

What we publish

Every ready tool must perform a defined task, display a meaningful result and explain its core formula or method. Platform-dependent tools—such as advertising, marketplace and payment-fee calculators—must identify their assumptions and be reviewed when the underlying platform changes.

How our tools are reviewed

We test representative inputs, boundary conditions and invalid entries before marking a calculator ready. Review dates show when a tool or its explanation was last meaningfully checked. More detail is available in our Editorial and Calculation Policy.

Independence and revenue

LifeWidget is being developed as a sustainable online business. The site may eventually earn revenue from clearly identified advertising, affiliate relationships or optional paid features. Commercial relationships will not change a calculator’s formula or determine the result shown to a visitor.

Corrections and new ideas

Questions and correction reports can be sent through our Contact page. If a repeated calculation is wasting your time, request a tool and explain the real situation where it would help.
