This affiliate disclosure is provided to inform our users about the nature of affiliate relationships and potential compensation that DesiUtility.com may receive from third-party companies mentioned or linked to on our website.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that contain an affiliate ID. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a commission from the company at no additional cost to you. This helps us maintain and improve our free services and content.

- E-commerce platforms and retailers
- Software and app developers
- Educational course providers
- Government service facilitators
How We Use Affiliate Links
We only recommend products and services that we believe can provide value to our users. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or calculator results. We maintain editorial independence and strive to provide honest, unbiased information regardless of potential compensation.
Transparency and Disclosure
We are committed to full transparency regarding our affiliate relationships. We will clearly disclose affiliate links through:
- Clear labeling of affiliate links as "affiliate link" or similar terminology
- Disclosure statements near affiliate content
- This general disclosure page for overall transparency
Your Costs
Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay for products or services remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the company's website. The commission we receive comes from the company, not from any additional charge to you.

Government Service Links
Links to official government websites and services are provided for your convenience and are not affiliate links. We do not receive any compensation for directing users to official government portals or services. These links are purely informational.
Calculator and Tool Independence
Our calculators, tools, and their results are developed independently and are not influenced by any affiliate relationships. The calculations and information provided are based on publicly available formulas and data, regardless of any potential affiliate compensation.
Third-Party Content
Some content on our website may be provided by third parties or guest contributors. Such content may contain affiliate links from those contributors. We will clearly identify guest content and any associated affiliate relationships.
