Contributor Guidelines

Who We Are Looking For

We welcome contributions from writers who have a strong understanding of personal finance topics relevant to UK taxpayers, workers, retirees, and savers.

Our Audience

Our readers include individuals seeking information and ideas for managing their finances, understanding UK tax systems, planning for retirement, or optimizing their savings strategies.

Our Style

We aim for a friendly, professional tone. Articles should be clear and actionable, providing real value to readers while avoiding jargon or overly technical language where possible. Our audience appreciates interesting insights, and a high level of detail and accuracy.

Content Requirements

Content Standards

We value content that is:

• Informative: Articles should provide well-researched insights and practical tips tailored to the UK audience.
• Engaging: Use a clear structure with headings, subheadings, and short paragraphs to keep readers interested.
• Original: Submissions must be unique and unpublished elsewhere.

Topics We Love

We're particularly interested in content that covers:

• UK tax systems, National Insurance, and Pensions.
• ISAs (Individual Savings Accounts)
• Budgeting and debt management strategies.
• Saving for retirement or large expenses.
• Financial literacy and planning tips.
• Benefits, allowances, and tax credits.

Linking Policy

We allow contributors to include links under the following conditions:

• Personal Links: Up to 3 links to your own website. The target links should generally be to specific content such as blog posts or articles. Maximum 1 homepage link per post, but get in touch if you need clarification.
• External Sources: You can cite external sources where appropriate, but these may not be added for the purposes of earning a backlink.
• Internal Links: Include a minimum 1-2 links to relevant Saving Tool UK articles or resources. You can visit our blog and search for articles to make this easier.
• Editorial Discretion: Saving Tool UK reserves the right to add relevant internal links to other articles or resources on our site at our own discretion, to enhance reader experience and provide additional context.

Compliance Requirements

We are committed to maintaining compliance with UK financial regulations. By submitting a guest post, you agree to the following:

• No Financial Advice: Articles must not provide direct financial advice or recommendations. Contributors should clarify that readers must seek professional advice for their specific circumstances.
• Regulated Topics: If your submission covers topics like pensions, investments, or other regulated areas and contains recommendations or examples, you must include disclaimers stating that the content is informational only.
• In general, the content should not cause Saving Tool UK to fall foul of FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) rules. Saving Tool UK does not act as a financial advisor or any other professional capacity, but provides relevant and useful information that helps users make more informed decisions.
• Prohibited Content: Submissions should not include:
  • Promotions relating to regulated financial products (if you are unsure if this applies to your content, get in touch for clarification).
  • NSFW content or topics related to gambling or cryptocurrency.
