A11yAccessibility of embeds

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.

In short

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.
