Questions
Are these tools free?
Yes. Every tool works without an account and without a card. Paid plans, when they start, are for bid alerts and history, not for the tools.
Where does the data come from?
Official public sources: the U.S. Census Bureau 2022 NAICS and its concordances, the SBA table of size standards (13 CFR 121.201), the IRS Instructions for Schedule C and USAspending.gov federal contract data. The calculators use only the numbers you type. Each tool names its source.
Do you store what I type?
No. Your inputs stay in the page address so you can share the result; nothing you type is saved on our side.
Can I share a result?
Yes. Every result has its own link: use “Copy link to this result” and send it to a partner, your accountant or your team.
