Field notes

The homepage organizes 35 calculators into Home Costs, Energy Costs, Auto, Work & Income, and Business & Seller. A roof-replacement example separates installation labor, architectural asphalt shingles, tear-off, synthetic underlayment, and other costs, then reports a typical figure alongside low and high estimates. The stated source chain includes BLS wage data, EIA electricity averages for 51 jurisdictions, and NOAA climate data; unsupported inputs are identified as assumptions.
