Corrections Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Accuracy is the foundation of trust. When something we publish is wrong, we fix it — openly and quickly.

What we correct

• Factual errors in figures, dates, names, or descriptions.
• Outdated information that could mislead readers (for example, changed tax thresholds or benefit rates).
• Broken links or misattributed sources.

How we correct

• Small fixes (typos, formatting, broken links): corrected silently.
• Material corrections (wrong figures, incorrect guidance): the article is updated and a correction note is added at the top or bottom of the article stating what changed and when.
• Serious errors: if an error could have caused readers financial harm, we prioritise the fix the same day and note it prominently.

Report an error

Found a mistake in one of our guides? Email hello@beginnerbudget.site with the article URL and a description of the error. We review every report.

Updates vs corrections

Routine updates (for example, refreshing annual figures) are marked with a "Last updated" date on the article. Corrections of errors are marked with an explicit correction note.
