Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: December 11, 2025
At Balance Buster, we believe in complete transparency. This page explains how we may earn money from some of the products and services we recommend.
How We Make Money
Balance Buster is a free service. We don't charge you anything to use our calculators, and we never will. To keep the lights on and continue building helpful tools, we may earn commissions when you click on certain links and take action (like applying for a credit card or personal loan).
This is called affiliate marketing, and it's a common way for free websites to generate revenue without charging users directly.
What This Means for You
- No extra cost: You never pay more for clicking our links. The prices and terms are the same as going directly to the company.
- Honest recommendations: We only recommend products we genuinely believe could help you. Our goal is to help you become debt-free, not to push products.
- Clear labeling: We mark affiliate links and sponsored content so you always know when we might earn a commission.
Types of Partners We Work With
We may earn commissions from partners in these categories:
- Balance transfer credit cards
- Personal loan providers
- Debt consolidation services
- Credit monitoring services
- Financial apps and tools
Our Editorial Independence
Affiliate partnerships do not influence our calculator results or recommendations. Our calculators use pure math—they don't favor any particular product or strategy because of business relationships.
When we recommend a specific product, it's because we genuinely think it could help someone in that situation, not because it pays us the highest commission.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. We're committed to following all applicable laws and regulations regarding affiliate marketing and advertising disclosures.

Our Promise to You
We built Balance Buster because we believe everyone deserves free, high-quality tools to take control of their finances. We'll always prioritize your financial wellbeing over our affiliate revenue. Your trust means more to us than any commission.
