YouCalc.com is committed to making its calculators and content accessible to as many people as possible, including those who rely on assistive technologies.
Our Target
We aim for conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. This standard explains how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and speech impairments.
What We Do
- Semantic HTML — pages use meaningful structure (headings, landmarks, lists) so screen readers can navigate them
- Keyboard navigation — every interactive element on the site can be reached and operated with a keyboard
- Visible focus — focus indicators are clear and never removed
- Colour contrast — text and interactive elements meet WCAG AA contrast ratios in both light and dark themes
- Reduced motion — animations respect the
prefers-reduced-motionmedia query - Right-to-left support — full RTL layout for Arabic and Urdu, with no physical-direction CSS that breaks mirroring
- Resizable text — pages remain usable when text is enlarged up to 200%
- Form labels — every form input has a programmatically associated label
- Alt text — informative images have alternative text; decorative images are marked as such
Testing
We test the site using a combination of automated and manual checks:
- Automated: axe-core runs against every key page in our CI pipeline
- Keyboard-only: we navigate every page without a mouse before release
- Screen reader spot-checks: with VoiceOver on macOS/iOS and NVDA on Windows
- Colour and contrast: verified against WCAG AA thresholds
Known Limitations
Some calculator outputs are presented in chart form. Where charts are used, we also provide the underlying data in an accessible table that screen readers can read.
If you find a page that does not meet our accessibility goals, we want to hear about it. We treat accessibility issues as bugs and prioritise them accordingly.
Feedback
If you encounter an accessibility barrier on YouCalc.com, please contact us via the contact page. Describe the page, your device and assistive technology if relevant, and the issue you encountered. We will respond within five working days and let you know our plan to address the issue.
Formal Complaints
If you are unsatisfied with our response, you may have the right to escalate to a relevant authority in your jurisdiction (for example, the EU Web Accessibility Directive enforcement body, the UK Equality and Human Rights Commission, or the US Department of Justice under the ADA).
