Calculators every client
can actually use
Older clients, clients using screen readers and clients on small phones all ask tax questions. Here is how the calculators are built for them, and what to check when you brand them.
Are the embedded calculators accessible?
Calculators use labeled form fields, keyboard-operable controls and modals with close buttons, are responsive to zoom and small screens, and honor reduced-motion settings. Your brand colors affect contrast, so check them; we aim for WCAG 2.2 AA and welcome reports of problems.
Built into the calculators
- Every input has a visible label and help text
- Keyboard operation for fields, buttons and modals

- Responsive layout from small phones to desktops
- Reduced-motion settings respected for animated themes
- Results update in a way screen readers can follow
What to check when you brand them
| Check | Why | How |
|---|---|---|
| Button color vs. background | Buttons need 3:1 contrast against their surroundings | Use a contrast checker on your primary color |
| Button text vs. button color | Labels need 4.5:1 | Prefer white or near-black labels |
| Custom labels | Clear wording helps everyone | Avoid jargon; keep the definitions on |
| Page around the embed | The page must be accessible too | Use headings and a descriptive title |
