Editorial Policy

Our Editorial Mission

Family Benefits Calculator aims to provide clear, accurate and helpful information for parents. Our editorial goal is to make complex topics — pregnancy, child health, family benefits and nutrition — understandable without being misleading, and useful without overstating what a general tool can tell you.

What We Write About

Our content covers four main topics: pregnancy due date calculation, child growth, child benefits (with a focus on Poland), and child nutrition. For each topic, we provide a working calculator alongside supporting guides. Articles are written to explain the topic in plain English and help readers understand what the numbers mean.

Sources and Research

Our guides are based on widely accepted reference materials, including:

• WHO child growth standards and reference data
• Standard obstetric due date calculation methods (Naegele's rule)
• General dietary reference values and public health guidelines
• Official government sources for benefit programmes (ZUS, Polish government portals)

We do not cite individual academic studies or claim clinical authority. Our content is for general information only.

Accuracy and Corrections

We aim to ensure all content is accurate at the time of publication. Where rules change (such as benefit amounts), we make reasonable efforts to update content promptly. If you notice an error or outdated information, please contact us via the contact page and we will review it.

Tone and Language

We write for parents, not medical professionals. Our style is:

• Plain English — minimal jargon, clear explanations
• Non-alarmist — we avoid language that causes unnecessary worry
• Honest about limitations — we are clear about what our tools cannot do
• Respectful — we assume readers are capable adults seeking information

Independence and Conflicts of Interest

Family Benefits Calculator is an independent site. We do not accept sponsored content, paid reviews or advertiser influence on our editorial decisions. We do not have affiliate arrangements for medical products, supplements or financial products. Our goal is to be useful to readers, not to any commercial partner.

Disclaimers

Every calculator page and health guide includes a disclaimer noting that results are estimates for general information only and are not a substitute for professional advice. We believe this transparency is important for responsible use of our tools.

Feedback and Updates

We welcome feedback on our content. If something is unclear, inaccurate or could be more helpful, please use the contact form. We review editorial feedback regularly.
