Run by an owner, not a content farm

HomeTrueCost is owned and operated by Soufiane. Every calculator on this site runs the same open methodology against public BLS wage and BEA price data — no scraped listings, no pay-to-rank placements, no lead-auction popups standing between you and the number.

Figures are regenerated from source releases and carry visible last-verified dates (currently 2026-09-11). When the data is a seed, a placeholder, or an assumption, it is labeled as one. Corrections are welcome — see the contact page.

The business model is display advertising plus, eventually, clearly-labeled quote introductions — never selling your data, never an email wall in front of a number. See the disclosure for the full posture.
