Editorial policy
How MonthlyIQ researches, writes, reviews, and updates its money guides.
Our goal
Our Resources exist to help people understand what happens to their money each month. We write for clarity, not clicks.
People-first content
Every page should answer a real question in plain English. We don't publish pages just to target a keyword, and we don't pad articles to hit a word count.
No invented numbers
We don't publish made-up statistics, ratings, or survey results. When we use a number, it's a worked example, a formula, or it comes from a cited public source.
Independence
MonthlyIQ doesn't accept payment for coverage, and we don't sell or use your financial data for advertising. Pages that mention MonthlyIQ features say so clearly.
Not advice
Our content is general information, not personal financial, tax, or legal advice. MonthlyIQ is not a bank or financial adviser.
