Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 7, 2026

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a commission when you click on them and make a purchase. These links help support our website and allow us to continue providing free calculators and content.

Our Affiliate Partnerships

Amazon Associates Program

Unit Rates is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to:

• Amazon.com
• Amazon.co.uk
• Other Amazon international sites

When you click on Amazon links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Other Affiliate Programs

We may also participate in other affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to:

• Google AdSense and affiliate networks
• eBay Partner Network
• Other merchant affiliate programs

How Affiliate Marketing Works

1. You click on a link on Unit Rates that goes to a product or service
2. A tracking cookie is placed in your browser (if you accept cookies)
3. You make a purchase from that merchant
4. We earn a small commission from the merchant at no extra cost to you

Important Things to Know

No Additional Cost to You

Using affiliate links does NOT cost you anything extra. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant's website. The commission we earn comes from the merchant, not from you.

Our Recommendations Are Genuine

We only recommend products, services, or resources that:

• We believe may be helpful or relevant to our users
• Are related to the content and purpose of our website
• We would recommend regardless of affiliate relationships

Our affiliate relationships do not influence the accuracy or functionality of our calculators, which are always provided free of charge.

Not All Links Are Affiliate Links

Not every link on Unit Rates is an affiliate link. Many links are provided simply for informational purposes or to enhance user experience, with no commission earned.

Why We Use Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate commissions help us:

• Maintain and improve our website
• Develop new calculators and features
• Create helpful content and resources
• Keep our calculators free for all users
• Cover hosting, development, and operational costs

Your Choices

You are never required to use our affiliate links. You can:

• Go directly to any merchant's website
• Search for products independently
• Disable cookies in your browser (though this may affect website functionality)
• Choose not to make purchases through our links

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

We strive to provide clear and transparent disclosure of our affiliate relationships to comply with FTC guidelines and provide honest information to our users.

Third-Party Advertising

In addition to affiliate links, we may display advertisements from third-party advertising networks such as Google AdSense. These advertisers may use cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant ads based on your browsing activity.

Changes to This Disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure from time to time as our affiliate partnerships change. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
