Terms of Service

These terms cover how the Misones website may be used, what the salary and budgeting guides are and are not, and how to reach the editorial team with a question or a correction.

These terms apply to misones.com

Misones publishes an educational editorial resource about salary planning, payroll forecasting, and paycheck-aware budgeting for employers and employees in the United States. The site is operated from 450 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10017, USA. By accessing or using the site, you agree to the terms described on this page. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site.

Use of the site

What you may do with this site

The site is provided for informational and educational purposes. You may read the salary and budgeting guides, share a page with a colleague, and reference the material inside your own organization when you are planning a compensation cycle, a payroll forecast, or a household spending plan. Quoting a short passage with a link back to the page is welcome.

Three limits apply. First, the content may not be reproduced for commercial publication or resold as part of a paid product. Second, automated collection at scale — crawling, scraping, or bulk downloading the site — is not permitted. Third, the site may not be used in any way that interferes with its normal operation, including attempts to overload the servers, bypass access controls, or inject code into the pages.

Where a page describes how a third-party planning tool handles salary figures, that description reflects what the tool's published documentation said when the page was written. Software changes, and the vendor's own current documentation always governs your use of their product.

No professional advice

Reading here is not the same as hiring an adviser

Everything published on Misones is general information about salary planning, payroll forecasting, and budgeting. It is written to help you ask better questions, not to answer them for your particular situation. The content is not financial, legal, tax, or payroll advice, and using the site does not create a professional relationship of any kind.

Misones does not process payroll, does not file tax returns, and does not provide advisory services on compensation, benefits, or employment matters. When a decision affects your organization or your household in a material way, work with a qualified professional who can review your own figures and the rules that apply where you are.

Ask the editorial team

What this site does not do

  • It does not run payroll or issue payments of any kind.
  • It does not prepare, file, or review tax returns or payroll filings.
  • It does not set pay rates, approve compensation, or negotiate on your behalf.
  • It does not review your numbers and return a recommendation.
  • It does not replace a qualified professional who knows your situation.

Accuracy and changes

How corrections and updates work here

Payroll rules, salary benchmarks, and planning-tool features move. We aim to keep every page accurate and current, but we do not warrant that each page is free of errors or reflects the latest position on a given date. When we find a problem, or a reader points one out, we correct the page rather than quietly leave it standing.

Updates we may make

A page may be updated, corrected, or removed at any time. This includes rewriting a guide after a rule changes, adding a caveat where a tool's behavior differs from what we described, retiring a page that no longer reflects current practice, and revising these terms when the site changes.

How to submit a correction

Send the page address, what looks wrong, and any source you think we should read to the editorial team through the contact page or by phone at +1-212-555-0198 during office hours. Corrections that include the original source are the fastest to verify and act on.

What continued use means

Continuing to use the site after a change is posted means you accept the updated content and these terms. If a revision is significant, we note it on the affected page. If you disagree with a change, the right response is to stop using the site.

No promise of completeness

A page can be correct in general and still not fit your case. State and local rules differ, company policies differ, and a figure that works for one employer's salary cycle may not work for another's. Treat every page as a starting point you verify against your own documents.

Intellectual property

The text, page structure, and original materials on this site belong to Misones or its licensors. Republishing them under another name, or presenting the guides as your own work, is not permitted.

Who owns what on this site

The written guides, the comparisons, the page structure, and the original diagrams and layouts are owned by Misones or used under licence. You may link to any page and quote a short passage with credit.

Pages on this site mention third-party planning and payroll products by name. Those names, logos, and product features belong to their respective owners and are used here for identification and description only. A mention does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or any partnership between Misones and the product's owner.

If you believe a page on this site uses your material in a way that is not permitted, write to the editorial team with the page address and the material in question. We will review it and act where a correction is warranted.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided as it stands

Misones publishes the site on an as-is basis. To the extent permitted by law, Misones is not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site or from reliance on its content — including decisions you make about compensation, payroll timing, or household budgeting after reading a guide.

  • We do not control the third-party tools a page may describe, so a feature, price, or workflow can change after we write about it.

  • A planning example is an illustration, not a projection. Your own figures, headcount, and obligations determine the outcome.

  • Nothing on the site is a commitment to deliver a service, a report, or an answer within a set time.

  • Where the law does not allow a limit of this kind, that limit does not apply to you, and the rest of these terms still stand.

Questions we get about these terms

Short answers to the messages that come in most often. Anything not covered here is best sent to the editorial team directly.

Can I use a Misones guide inside my company's planning documents?

Yes, for internal business use. Quote or summarize the material inside a document your team reads, and link back to the page so people can check the original. Republishing it outside your organization, or bundling it into something you sell, needs written permission first.

Does reading a salary or budgeting guide here create a professional relationship?

No. The site is an editorial resource, not a service engagement. Nothing you read here creates an adviser relationship, and Misones does not review your figures, file anything on your behalf, or take responsibility for a decision you make after reading.

A page describes a tool I use and the feature has changed. What should I do?

Tell us. Send the page address and what you are seeing now, and the editorial team will check it against the vendor's current documentation and correct the page. In the meantime, the vendor's own documentation is the authority on how their product behaves.

Do you accept outside articles or sponsored posts?

No. The editorial pages are written in house. A mention of a third-party product on a comparison page is description, not advertising, and it does not buy placement or a favorable write-up.

How do I report something on this page that seems unclear?

Use the contact page or call +1-212-555-0198 during office hours. Plain-language complaints about a clause are as useful as a legal citation — if a sentence reads badly, we want to know.
