Editorial, sourcing and corrections policy

Our goal is to make public European statistics useful without hiding uncertainty or mixing editorial conclusions with advertising.

Sources and freshness

Eurostat is the primary source. Each data build retrieves published observations from the Eurostat dissemination API, records the newest usable period and runs completeness and consistency checks. Some indicators are released annually or on different schedules, so the newest period can vary by metric and country.

Calculations and estimates

Calculated values are labelled as estimates. Gross-to-net results interpolate official household-model data and cannot reproduce every personal tax circumstance. Purchasing power comparisons use comparative price-level indices; they are broad indicators, not a prediction of a particular household budget.

Automation and review

Data ingestion, page generation and translations use automation. Automated output is checked for missing values, invalid ranges, broken URLs and sitemap coverage before release. We do not knowingly publish fabricated observations to fill gaps.

Advertising independence

Advertising helps fund the free product. Advertisers do not choose rankings, formulas, countries or conclusions. An ad placement does not constitute an endorsement.

Corrections

If a source value, label or calculation appears wrong, send the affected URL, the number you expected and a supporting source. Material corrections are applied to the underlying pipeline so every affected page is regenerated.
