Why We’re Asking for Support

For nearly 20 years, Tax Form Calculator has provided free, accurate, and independent tax calculation tools to help people understand and complete their tax forms with confidence.

From the beginning, our goal has been simple: make reliable tax tools accessible to everyone, without subscriptions, paywalls, or hidden charges. Millions of users have relied on these tools over the years, often at important moments in their financial lives.

Donations are processed securely via PayPal and handled by DiDiMo Ltd, the company that owns and operates the Tax Form Calculator.

Why Donations Are Now Needed

Keeping this service free has always depended on advertising revenue. However, the landscape has changed significantly.

The widespread use of ad blockers, combined with major shifts in how online traffic is generated and consumed, has made it increasingly difficult to fund free tools purely through ads. At the same time, the cost of maintaining accurate, up-to-date tax calculators continues to rise as tax rules become more complex each year.

Rather than introducing subscriptions, restricting access, or selling user data, we’ve chosen a different path.

Why We Chose Donations

Asking for donations is not a decision we took lightly. It’s an extraordinary step after nearly two decades of offering everything at no cost.

But donations allow us to:

If you’ve found our tools useful, a small donation helps ensure they remain available — not just for you, but for anyone who needs them in the future.

No Obligation — Just Transparency

Using Tax Form Calculator does not require a donation. The tools will continue to work whether you donate or not.

This page exists simply to be open and honest about the challenges of keeping free, independent tools alive in today’s online environment — and to give those who wish to support the project a way to do so.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you’re not in a position to donate, there are still meaningful ways you can support Tax Form Calculator and help keep the tools free for everyone.

Every contribution — financial or otherwise — helps ensure Tax Form Calculator remains free, independent, and available to everyone who needs it.

Thank You

Whether you choose to donate, share feedback, allow ads, or simply continue using the tools, thank you for being part of the Tax Form Calculator community. Your trust and support — in all forms — are what have kept this project going for nearly 20 years.

We truly appreciate your support.
