Accessibility

Money decisions affect everyone, so our tools have to work for everyone.

Our standard

DayCents targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across the site. Accessibility is treated as an engineering requirement, not an afterthought: it is part of code review for every new calculator and page.

What's built in today

  • Full keyboard operability — every input, slider, menu, and disclosure works without a mouse, with visible focus indicators throughout.
  • Semantic HTML and ARIA: labeled form controls, landmark regions, live regions that announce updated results to screen readers.
  • Color contrast meeting AA in both light and dark themes, with meaning never conveyed by color alone (results also use text and labels).
  • prefers-reduced-motion is respected — animations are disabled for users who opt out of motion.
  • Responsive layouts that remain usable at 200% zoom and on small screens, with no horizontal scrolling.
  • Financial figures use tabular numerals for stable, legible alignment.

Known limitations

Some long data tables (like 30-year amortization schedules) are dense by nature; we provide summary statistics and CSV export as alternatives. If any content is difficult to use with your assistive technology, we want to know.
