Affiliate Disclosure

Overview

Generator Size Calculator (gensizecalculator.com) participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you click on certain links and make a purchase — at no additional cost to you. This disclosure explains how our affiliate relationships work and how they do and do not affect our editorial content.

Amazon Associates Program

We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Our Amazon affiliate tag is gensize-20.

When you click an Amazon link on this site and make any qualifying purchase within 24 hours (or 90 days for items added to cart), we may receive a small commission — typically 1%–8% of the sale price depending on the product category. This commission comes from Amazon, not from you. Your price is exactly the same whether you use our link or navigate to Amazon directly.

Which Links Are Affiliate Links

Affiliate links on this site include:

• Product cards labeled "Check Price on Amazon" — these link directly to Amazon product search results or product pages
• Inline text links referencing specific generator models (e.g., "Generac Guardian 14kW") where the link goes to Amazon
• Top Picks and Best Generators sections on review pages

Non-affiliate links on this site include all internal links between our own pages, links to manufacturer websites (Generac, Kohler, Honda, etc.), links to government or regulatory sites (NEC, EPA, OSHA), and links to informational resources.

Our Editorial Independence

Affiliate commissions do not influence our recommendations. The generator size recommendations produced by our calculator are based entirely on electrical engineering principles — running watts, surge watts, the 80% load rule, and NEC guidelines. No affiliate payment changes what size generator our calculator recommends for your load.

When we feature specific products in our review pages (Best Portable Generators, Best Standby Generators, etc.), those selections are based on:

• Independently verified specifications and wattage ratings
• Verified consumer review scores from Amazon and other retailers
• Price-to-performance value assessment
• Brand reliability history and warranty terms

We do not accept payment from manufacturers or retailers to feature their products. We do not allow affiliate commission rates to determine which products appear first in our comparisons.

Price Accuracy

Product prices displayed on this site are approximate and may differ from current Amazon pricing. Generator prices change frequently based on availability, demand, and promotions. Always click through to Amazon for the current price before making a purchasing decision.

Your Rights as a Consumer

Under the Federal Trade Commission's 16 C.F.R. § 255 guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we are required to disclose material connections to products we recommend. This page fulfills that requirement. We take our FTC compliance obligations seriously.

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer, you can search for any product we mention directly on Amazon, at a local hardware store, or through a licensed electrician or generator dealer.

Other Affiliate Programs

We may in the future participate in additional affiliate programs beyond Amazon Associates. If and when we do, we will update this page to disclose those relationships. Any such program will be held to the same editorial independence standards described above.
