About
Money rules, made usable.
Official publications are accurate and often unreadable. Forum answers are readable and often wrong. The Money Pocket lives in the gap: look up a rule, run the number, and see your next step — without an account, a paywall, or a 40-page PDF.

Who publishes this site
The Money Pocket is written and maintained by a small editorial team. Each calculator is built from the published rule — the IRS revenue procedure or notice, the form instructions, the statute, or the state revenue department’s own tables — and each guide explains that rule in plain English, with worked examples. Pages are published under the The Money Pocket name rather than individual bylines.
We are not a CPA firm, an enrolled-agent practice, a law office, or a registered investment adviser. The Money Pocket is an educational library. When your facts are material, talk to a professional who can see your return.
The site is operated by IZ Labs Kft., a company registered in Budapest, Hungary. Full company details are in the legal notice.
Editorial standards
- Primary sources first. Tax and penalty pages cite the IRS, Treasury, CRA, or the statute when a rule is stated as current. Dollar amounts come from the official revenue procedure or notice.
- Calculators show their assumptions. Each tool states what it models and what it leaves out. Results are estimates; they don’t file a return or contact the IRS.
- Dated updates. When a rule or limit changes, the page is revised and its “Updated” date moves. Pages are reviewed at least once a year and whenever new IRS guidance lands.
- No invented shortcuts. If a rule is unpublished or sources conflict, the page says so.
- Corrections. Send them to [email protected]. Material corrections are made promptly.
Privacy by design
Every calculator runs in your browser. The numbers you type — income, balances, filing status — are never sent to us. If you unlock a free cheat sheet, we only receive your email address and which sheet you asked for — and we don’t email you. Details are in the privacy policy.
How the site is funded
Display ads keep the library free. Advertisers never see or influence the math. See the advertising disclosure, or advertise with us.
