Corrections Policy

Last updated: April 2026

SalaryLabs deals with salary, tax, and compensation numbers that people use to make real decisions. If something is wrong, we want the fix to be clear and fast.

How to Report an Error

Email [email protected] with:

• The page URL where the error appears
• The specific inputs you used
• The result you received
• What you believe the correct result should be, and why (source link if you have one)

Our Process

1. Acknowledge: We respond to correction reports within 1 to 2 business days.
2. Investigate: We reproduce the result and compare it against the relevant primary source.
3. Fix: If the issue is confirmed, we correct the page and update dateModified.
4. Note: For material errors, we add a visible correction note on the affected page.

Types of Errors We Fix

• Calculator logic errors — wrong formula, wrong bracket, wrong FICA limit
• Stale data — tax figures from a prior year, outdated BLS wage benchmarks
• Factual errors in guides — incorrect FLSA rules, wrong standard deduction amounts, wrong rate citations
• Broken links to primary sources
• Typographical errors that change meaning

What We Do Not Correct

• Simplification by design — some tools use limited models on purpose. Those limits are documented in our Methodology.
• Employer-specific differences — pre-tax deductions, local taxes, and payroll choices can produce different results from our estimates.
• BLS benchmark disputes — we do not replace published government wage data with anecdotes or proprietary salary claims.

Track Record

Past fixes have included tax-estimator updates after SSA wage-base changes, salary-heatmap purchasing-power data updates, and state-tax corrections in the take-home pay calculator. Confirmed changes are reflected in dateModified on affected pages.
