Sophie reviews Calculio's health-related calculators and guides, making sure they stay aligned with NHS guidance and are written in a tone that's supportive rather than alarming. She's especially careful about the line between general information and anything that could read as a diagnosis or a personal recommendation, since a calculator result is never a substitute for speaking to a GP or other healthcare professional. Her focus is on getting the framing right as much as the numbers: presenting a BMI category or a due date estimate as a starting point for a conversation, not a verdict.

How Sophie works

Every calculator and guide Sophie writes or reviews follows the same process: research current UK rates, thresholds and rules from primary government or NHS sources, build and test the calculation logic against known worked examples, then write a plain English explanation before publishing. Content is revisited whenever the underlying rates change, typically around the Spring and Autumn Budget or the start of a new tax year. Full detail on this process is on our About page.

Conflicts of interest

Calculio is independent and does not accept payment from any bank, lender, insurer, tax firm or other financial product provider to influence a calculator's figures or a guide's content. Revenue comes from advertising shown alongside our content, not from any product Sophie Whitmore writes about.
