Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: June 2026

The Short Version

CostFlowAI keeps its core cost calculators free, forever. To help support the site, some of the links we provide are paid links — meaning we may earn a commission if you click them and make a purchase. This never costs you anything extra, and it never changes the price you pay.

Our estimates and recommendations are not influenced by these commissions. We point you toward materials and tools because they fit the project you just estimated — not because of what we earn.

What Is a Paid Link?

Throughout CostFlowAI — particularly in the "Shop your materials list" sections below our calculator results, and within our cost guides and buying guides — we include links to products sold by third-party retailers. Some of these are affiliate (paid) links. When you click a paid link and complete a purchase, the retailer may pay us a small commission. You pay the same price you would have paid otherwise.

Programs We Participate In

CostFlowAI is a participant in affiliate and advertising programs that may include, among others:

  • Amazon Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
  • The Home Depot affiliate program
  • Lowe's affiliate program
  • Affiliate networks including Sovrn Commerce, Impact, and FlexOffers, which connect us to these and other retailers

The specific retailers and programs we work with may change over time.

How We Choose What to Link

We recommend materials and tools based on what your estimate actually calls for and what we believe represents genuine value for the project. Commission rates do not determine our recommendations. Where it helps you decide, we show product details such as price and ratings so you can make your own informed choice.

Your Estimate Is Always Free

The presence of paid links never gates, limits, or alters your cost estimate. Every core calculator on CostFlowAI is, and will remain, free to use in full. For more on how we handle your data, see our Privacy Policy.
