The Hive Makes provides free calculators and tools. To support this, some pages contain affiliate links and display advertisements. This page explains how that works and what it means for you.
Some links on our sites earn us a commission. When you click a product link on our calculator pages and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. This does not cost you anything extra — the price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Our current affiliate partnerships include:
We may add additional affiliate partnerships in the future. This page will be updated accordingly.
Product links on our calculator pages are contextual — they relate to the calculation you just performed. We aim to link to product categories that are genuinely useful to someone performing that calculation (e.g., lumber for woodworking calculators, homebrew equipment for brewing calculators).
We link to product search results, not specific products. This means you see current inventory and prices, not hand-picked items we're paid to promote.
We use Google AdSense to display ads on our sites. Google serves ads based on your browsing history and interests. We do not control which specific ads appear. See our Privacy Policy for details about cookies and how to opt out of personalized ads.
If you subscribe to one of our newsletters, those emails may contain affiliate links and sponsored content. Sponsored content will always be clearly labeled as such. We will only recommend products and services we believe are genuinely relevant to your interests.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our calculator formulas, results, or editorial content. Our calculators use published, verifiable formulas from authoritative sources. The math is the same whether or not affiliate links are present.
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, contact dan.cohen@defimagic.io.
